Roku 2 XS Unboxing

Hey Folks,
This will be my Roku 2 XS unboxing. I previously owned the Roku XD, but I gave it away to my brother. I decided to get another, and upgrade to the highest end model. The Roku allows me to me stream a myriad of web video including Netflix and Hulu, and with this particular model Angry Birds!

why a roku? the WDTV live is sooo much better, if you want to play 1080p .mkv with DTS audio (downloaded legally of course, cough cough)

roku's like a neutered WDTV: can't hook up external hardware

@ghostdein1 Wanted a pretty painless streaming box. I will look into the WDTV if it can do Netflix, Hulu, CNet, and TwiT pretty painlessly. My XS does allow for a USB storage device to be connected though!

Is this the Canon rebel t3i in action? Because I expected much better.

[TheMacintosh1]

@Flobbies T2i. Accidentally left the aperture and ISO high. Will be better next time!

should have just got google tv but your an apple girl so i cant see you geting that lol i also have the last gen roku no problems just cant see upgradeing for a smaller one im fine with the size of the last gen roku.

@josh198869 Will consider the Google TV after it gets that new update. Right now, it's pretty lackluster.

[UnboxingsEpic]

@K2ACP apple tv doesnt have anything though.......its just mostly to use it if ur a regular itunes user n shit

[HondaOdysseyEXL]

Should I get a Roku 2, Google TV,or Apple TV because I need help choosing a christmas present because my parents are letting me choose from these 3?

[Sundancer213]

HI HOW ARE U I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS!

[josh198869]

@TheMacintosh1 i guess your right lol thanks for the reply back ()-;

[K2ACP]

Apple TV seems so much better, I don't use any of the services you use such as Netflix or Hulu. Netflix is pointless for me since I don't watch movies and I can't use Hulu since I'm not in the US

No apple tv ?

Question: Does the Roku 2 XS support podcast playback?
