I already have an Xbox 360 and a PlayStation 3. As far as I can tell, having this would be redundant for me although it's a neat little box.
 
Seems like a good deal, but it doesn't do network streaming off a media server? Wouldn't it make more sense to pick up one of those boxes that also does Netflix?

It DOES play off your PC. I run Mongoose web server and run a private channel that was developed to play movies, music and pictures from my PC to my ROKU...works perfectly.

I started to check this out, in Roksbox I got to the point where it said it was a 30 day trial and asked if I wanted to register and pay my one time fee now.

I then stopped and moved on to other meaningless chores.
 
I was thinking about purchasing one, but after I saw the short codec support list (only 3 video codecs -- no mpeg anything, xvid, divx, or anything nice like that), I decided against it. Also, the audio codec list shows only mp3 and wma, but a lot of people have mp3 so I guess that's not quite as bad but still....

Nice? I think outdated is a better term.
