Simple plug-in 1080p streaming player. Private listening & voice search available via mobile app. Ten bucks off normal price, which is already pretty reasonable. The 3600R is a quad-core model, so it's pretty zippy. It's powered via USB (either loop it into your TV's USB port, if it has one, or plug it into a wall via the A/C adapter). This is basically the same as the Roku 3, minus special remote (which has a headphone jack & a mic built-in, but the stick's remote is still RF instead of IR, so line-of-sight is not required) & no Ethernet port (wifi only). Supports Netflix, VUDU, Hulu, Amazon, PLEX, etc.

is this better than a chromecast or fire stick? I know very little about them.

I believe this sale is over, local Wal-Mart as well as Roku site says price is back to normal.

I got one of these the last time they were on sale for $40. Its pretty good, especially for a stick. I couldn't feel any difference from a Roku 3. And if you buy one, you can get a free HMDI extension from Roku at https://my.roku.com/hdmi .

I like it better than my Fire TV Stick so far. Feels snappier and I like the customizable main screen. It's not full of junk I don't care about like the Fire is.
