From CNET: Roku just made choosing a new streaming player five times more difficult, and at least five bucks cheaper than the competition.
The giant-killing company's products routinely slay the likes of Amazon, Google and Apple in our reviews and in sales. My go-to pick for streaming Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Sling TV and all the rest is the $50 Roku Streaming Stick, which I called "all the streamer you need."
Evidently, Roku doesn't agree. Today it debuts five -- count 'em, five! -- new devices, all of which will go on sale in time for the holidays. Add them to the Stick, the only previous Roku product staying in the line, and you get a streaming six pack frothing over with choice.
Roku Express: At $30 it's $5 cheaper than Google's popular Chromecast, making the Express the least expensive mainstream streaming device around (unless Amazon decides to give its next streaming stick away for free). The Express does everything the current Roku Stick does, like give full access to Roku's best-in-class app selection, cross-platform search and simple interface. In a quick demonstration with Roku's reps it seemed plenty speedy.
