are any of the android boxes worth getting?

shopping for a birthday present for my BF, in the ~$100 range.

he's already got a roku, but he's a total android fanboy. I thought one of the various google boxes/dongles might be a cool replacement (especially with access to the Play Store so he could also check email, play games, and his usual android stuffs) but most of the reviews on Amazon seemed pretty mixed, so I thought I'd ask for AT's advice :thumbsup:

he doesn't watch any local content (re: he's not a big downloader), but he does stream a lot so netflix/hulu/amazon working well is a mandatory requirement.

If he already has a Roku, then no. Really they all more or less miss the mark in one way or another.
