The Roku Player is under $100 and comes with a remote. The picture quality is near-DVD (depends on your network connection of course) and the only complaint I have is that subtitles are not supported. Otherwise it's been a fantastic experience despite the limited Netflix catalog that's been available until now. What's really impressed me is that despite not having a hard-drive for storage I have never experienced any dropped frames or hiccups of any kind!

Roku!
I've always been a huge fan of Roku and their products. I have 3 Roku SoundBridge Network Music Systems
at home and a Roku Digital Video Player as well. The great news is that the Netflix Player is now going to support Amazon as well. The link on Roku's page isn't working yet but I hope it will be soon! It might just be time to get rid of Cable and Satellite!
