Roku Adds Amazon Video On Demand

by Andy Brudtkuhl on March 4, 2009

Roku is my favorite gadget. There, I said it.

On that note they just made it even better by adding access to Amazon Video On Demand – which lets you buy and rent new DVD releases from Amazon.

So what are the drawbacks? Well Amazon does not stream in HD or in surround sound. The device, however, can support this (as they do with Netflix) – so as soon as Amazon adds this feature the Roku will support it.

Roku is the best $99 I’ve ever spent on a gadget. Hands down. If you have Netflix or enjoy movies – just buy it. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
