So I bought a Roku 3 just before Christmas and was about to start a thread, then thought I better search 
Come on, lets add to this. I've found a few cool things, but nothing spectacular yet. ( I did save Crackle already) I would love to hear from more Roku users that have found the free goods

I was going to buy a roku but after talking to a couple guys I work with I just couldn't see why I needed it. A ps3, bluray player and other items can download the same things roku has. I use my ps3 and pay 7.99 a month for hulu plus and 7.99 for Netflix. plenty to watch there for 16.00 a month. Also have the youtube app on my ps3

We have an XBOX 360 in the living room for out main set top box.
Amazon Prime + Hulu Plus are plenty of TV for us. Axed Directv over a year ago.
We also have a Roku3 for other rooms in the house, (bedrooms/office)
I just bought an extra power cord and HDMI cable for my "office" (hobby shop/gun room)
But yeah, you don't need a Roku hooked to the same TV as another device.
Hell, you can actually access the same stuff on a PC as you can a Roku, but the Roku gives you a MUCH more streamlined menu system/playback capability/etc.
IMO it's worth the $80 one time purchase vs tying up my laptop to watch TV

I have 8 mb dsl through the phone company (I live out in the woods, can't get cable)
works fine for us. Streams shows in HD on the TV while I surf HL and watch Youtube videos or stream music
I would consider that the absolute minimum though. It won't reliably stream 2 HD feeds at once for very long.

yeah that's my problem. no cable and limited providers in my area and the ones that are available have all these data limits that are not nearly enough

I like turtles...
I've been using a Nintendo Wii to get Netflix, Amazon and Youtube but its kind of pain to search with it and now my DVD player is screwing up so I'm thinking about getting a Bluray player to do it all.

I have 2 sony blue ray players and like them. Also have a Samsung smart TV. TV is alittle easier to use but not much.
I like netflix a lot better the Amazon. Hardly ever even look on Amazon anymore.
