Netflix Debuts Netflix Player

Thursday May 22, 2008
Netflix joins Apple and VuDu in the movie download business with its newly announced Netflix player. The Netflix Player is a $99 compact unit that, when connected to the internet, allows for free downloading of movies and programs from the Netflix website for viewing on any television with Composite, S-Video, Component, or HDMI inputs. However, unlike Apple TV and VuDu, the Netflix free movie download service does not offer programs and movies in High Definition, at least to start with. For more details on the features and operation of the new Netflix Player, check out the report from Audioholics and the Official Netflix Player Product Page. Photos (c) Roku, Inc.
