Default Anyone Using A Roku Netflix Device?

I'm looking at the HD player for my bedroom. My 46'' doesn't have a VGA port and my other laptop doesn't have a HDMI output. The converter, VGA-HDMI is expensive and doesn't do everything this box does. Anyone have any experience with these units? Thanks.

Nevermind, I'm either going Blu Ray player or a second PS3. I realized that I don't have a Blu Ray in the bedroom so I may as well get it all in one sweep.

There are a bunch of new media players like Roku or the Boxee Box that were announced this passed week at CES.

Roku makes a box that streams Netflix to your TV and is WiFi. The reason, I neverminded it is that it costs about $100 and you can get a Blu Ray player that streams Netflix(and Pandora) for about $150 so I may as well put a Blu Ray in the bed room.
