Netflix Player by Roku

The long rumored set-top box for Netflix movies has finally arrived: Roku's Netflix Player. At $99 it doesn't look like too bad of a deal and along with a $17.99 Netflix account, it'll allow you to watch an unlimited number of movies and tv shows instantly through the device. Of course, the selection at Netflix for instant streaming isn't their complete library, but it's a decent chunk of my personal queue there. I'm curious about the picture quality and speed to get movies streaming from the time you select them for viewing, hopefully they struck a good balance between picture quality and filesize. As a Netflix customer myself, I've gone ahead and ordered one and will post some screenshots and impressions on the video quality once it arrives. [via uncrate]
