    I mean for the same money you can get an AppleTV that just feels solidly built, never seems to hick-up, doesn't need a wall-wart. Sure I know it's very limited and close system but you just feel like you're getting your money's worth. And for an Apple product that's rare.

    Likewise for the same money I could also get a 3D Blu-Ray player with Apps. Again not the best equipment, and the worst interface of the bunch, BUT I get 3D Blu-Ray Playback when it's not on Vudu, or even UV. AND I get access to CinemaNow, Flixster, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Vudu (IN 3D), Pandora, MOG, and a bunch more. I get access to quite literally ALL the sources I need and in one box for $100. Having all that flexibility is just paramount for me which is why I have one in every room and have almost dropped DirecTV after over a decade there by cutting my monthly video bill in half.
    Right, so if Vudu would support Roku 3, it would be the best black box of all! Minus BluRay disc support...

Unfortunately, the Vudu Devices section only list a handful of the devices that actually support 3D and it rarelly gets updated either, for some reason.

    Specific to the Roku 3 this was my first Roku and I wanted to try one, especially with the new hardware and software. There was some things I liked about it, however, given that it was the same same price as a Blu-Ray player and didn't even have 3D Vudu I returned it the next day.

    On a forum like this, I'm sure we're more the rule than the exception.

    My wife made me get rid of all the old towers I was keeping for "spare parts", but I crammed all the cables into a bag and crammed the bag into a filing cabinet and put the filing cabinet in the closet of the study/server room.

    I was hoping I wouldn't need to rely on a 3D BD player for 3D from the streaming apps, but I guess I still will. So instead of getting a second Roku 3, I will get another 3D BD player to have access to 3D from the streaming apps at my secondary 3D viewing location.
    I've got sooooo many devices that play Vudu 3D that are not on the Vudu website as 3D capable. That thing far from updated, like ever for some reason. I usually just buy new devices to test if they are Vudu 3D and just return if not.

    I usually refrain from replying "+1" or "This." as much as possible, but I too have about 6 or 8 spare cables in my big bag o' cables thanks to Monoprice and their amazing prices. Hell, might as well buy extra when you do order and save on shipping. Heck, my family members got 3 different lengths of mini-USB charging cables from Monoprice in their stockings because I know they now all have Kinde Fires and/or cell phones that use mini-USB.

    Whatever happened to salesmen being familiar with what they are selling and looking for ways to upsell that aren't insulting?

    People used to think that when salesman get paid on commission they don't care what you need but are just trying to make money. When I worked at The Good Guys (west coast electronics store thats now closed) and Circuit City it was better when we were on commission. When I was being paid commission I made sure you got exactly what you needed cause if you return it then it takes money out of my pocket. When it went to hourly at Circuit City no one cared anymore cause it didn't matter to them if they sold anything or not, they still got paid. People fail to realize this.

    Re: Roku 3 now Available

    I just ordered my Roku 3 at Walmart.com since Best Buy is sold out online and amazon.com is back ordered 1-3 weeks. I don't understand why Roku didn't include a HDMI cable since the Roku 3 only accepts HDMI cables. I ordered a 6ft HDMI cable from newegg.com for $2.49 with free 2 day shipping. Sony doesn't include a HDMI cable with the PS3 and Apple doesn't include a HDMI cable with the Apple TV sorry for the rant.
