Netflix just “got rich.”
Somehow this seems cooler/more viable than the apple TV. The new Netflix Player by Roku (about 100 bucks) lets you watch movies and TV shows from your Netflix queue, right on your TV. Bummer that it is yet another set-top box I have to plop on my TV, (ditch my SlingBox??) but it provides instant access to a library of 10,000 Netflix movies and TV shows (Currently 10% of the library and counting.)
The player features Wired Ethernet and Wi-Fi, HDMI and Component Video, and comes with a simple remote control to boot.

Interesting update. If you have an Xbox 360 you can now hack it to be the Netflix player and bypass the 99. :)
