Hey All!
I’m sure you all saw my Halloween feature about how much I love the new and improved and decked out Roku 2 right? If you didn’t I have to tell you how great the Roku 2 is since it will make the perfect gift for the Holidays!
Roku 2 is Amazing with a capital A! It comes in the packaging you see above and with a new Wii Like remote. The Roku 2 is much smaller than the original Roku and it will fit in the palm your hand. But don’t let the size fool you this small wonder does lots more than the original! As you can see it’s he perfect sized box to wrap and fit under your tree! You can even take it out of the box and slip it into a stocking and make a great stocking stuffer! I digress…
The NEW Roku 2 comes in three different specs and price ranges.
The Roku 2 HD which is $60, XD is $80, and XS $100 and all models feature a new “blazing fast GPU”, high definition video playback, 802.11n, and Bluetooth. All versions now also include a microSD slot!
This will make a great gift for anyone for the holidays since you can now also play games like Angry Birds on the Roku! Kids will love playing their favorite games on their own tv. I know my teen is an Angry Birds addict and I am too!
The Roku 2 XS is such a great value! It’s even cheap enough that you might even buy more than one for your home. In additional to the games you also get to stream Netflix and Pandora and it includes more free channels and you can now even check your Facebook on the Roku!
The new remote I love since it now only allows you to navigate through the Roku 2 menus, it also acts as your remote control for the games. Like I said earlier it’s almost like a Wii Remote. It has a strap that wraps around your wrist and you can play the games with out fearing the remote will fly across the room while playing!
Roku 2 also has a better resolution than the old Roku. It now gives you a resolution from 720p to 1080p.
There are so many great new features about the ne Roku 2 that I can talk about how much I love it for hours. It’s really the perfect gift idea for the Holidays and Roku would love to give ONE OF MY READERS THEIR OWN ROCKU 2 FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
