Roku 2

Roku has done it again. They have come up with a smaller and sleeker and not to mention a much more advanced Roku 2. It has a new Wii style remote control. Now, playing interactive games with a Roku player has become a reality. The gaming support this new device provides has to be a big plus for all gaming enthusiasts out there. Also, don’t forget Roku boasts the largest collection of streaming clients. For the latest review and prices of the Roku player please go to Roku box.

At 3.3 x 3.3 x 0.9 inches large and 3 ounces heavy, Roku 2 has to be the smallest and lightest streaming gaming device out there. It is very simple to assemble from the box. There is memory slot and a USB port. Again, the Bluetooth remote control not requiring a direct line of sight is a great asset with Roku 2.

The Roku 2 works with virtually any TV. It has built in Wi-Fi and has the ability to play high-def video. You can get free movie service from Crackle which has a collection of hundreds of Hollywood movies. And you can go to Pandora or MOG to listen to great music. You can also buy subscriptions of Hulu Plus and Netflix for an even greater library of great movies and TV shows. Remember, you can watch all these at your own time and pace. With cable, you have to follow their time table but with Roku 2 you watch it whenever you have the time.

The XS version of Roku 2 comes with a free full version of the Angry Birds game. Angry Birds, as you know is one of the most popular games on mobile devices. The enhanced remote with the XS features a built-in accelerometer and gyro so you can play games. You can also watch on demand live sports.

Roku certainly has the winner with the largest collection of streaming channels straight from the internet onto your home theater system. The XS version is also a gaming device that comes with a Bluetooth Wii style remote control. I would definitely recommend the Roku XS to all of you especially to those who are gaming enthusiasts.
