Free Product Giveaway: Roku Netflix Set Top Box
Dan Rayburn | Monday June 16, 2008 | 12:01 AM
The nice folks over at Roku sent me a set top box a few weeks ago and while I really would like to keep it for myself, I feel it would only be fair to give it away to a reader of my blog. These boxes are currently sold out and back ordered for weeks, so this is your shot to get one now.
UPDATE: Drawing is now closed. Robert Schumann was selected as the winner using a random number picker website.
To qualify to win the unit, all you have to do is leave one comment on this post with a working e-mail address. I will pick one person a week from today using a random number picker website and ship it out to the winner at no cost. (Sorry, U.S. residents only) The unit comes with all of the original materials, box, remote and cables.
Please note that the Roku box does not come with any Netflix service. So you either need to be a Netflix customer, or need to be willing to setup a Netflix account.
Also, Anthony Wood, the Founder and CEO of Roku will be one of our keynote speakers at the Streaming Media West show in September in San Jose. Registration is open and all keynotes are free. Register now for your pass to see Anthony demo and talk about the Roku in person.

Rokulicious!
Seriously, the Netflix Player from Roku is a game-changing device. Looking forward to an interesting battle with Apple and Amazon.

Is it really fair to compare this to Apple TV? Very excited to see Netflix continue it's push to make old media dinosaurs rethink distribution.
