Hey All!
You all know how much I loved the original Roku media streamer when I featured it last year in my Holiday Gift Guide as the most amazing “Netflix Player,” Now the Roku is new and improved and decked out with tons of new features and new channels and audio that you can stream! This will be perfect to stream all your scary movies from this Halloween! No need to rent scary movies any more folks! Have you heard about how great the Roku 2 is? Well let me tell you…
Roku 2 is amazing! It comes in the packaging you see below 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!
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 the holidays and a perfect edition to your Halloween parties since you can now also play games like Angry Birds on the Roku! You can stream all your spooky Halloween hits for all those spooks and goblins to get down to at your party right from your own tv! You don’t need a stereo anymore sad to say, when you have Roku 2 that stream Pandora with all your Halloween playlists! 
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 Netflix and Pandora, it include more free channels and you can now even check your Facebook, Chow, are gravy on the Roku. And if you have some sports junkies in your home you can even subscribe to the MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS right from the Roku 2!
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. But I highly recommend you run out and get one for yourself so you can see just how amazing it is. I know I’ll be streaming Thriller and watching all my scary movies this Halloween with my family in front of our Roku 2! It’s your little Halloween party central in my opinion! It’s also a perfect gift for the Holidays and I will be featuring this in my Holiday gift guide as well. So stay tuned!
