Amazon Deal of the Day: Roku XS 1080p Streaming Player for $79.99

A lot of people are buying unnecessary equipment when it comes to watching streaming media on the TV, and when they buy that Blu-ray player that supports Netflix, they find out they still need a $50 WiFi dongle because the wife won’t let them run Cat5 through the house for Ethernet.

The Roku XS box is the company’s top-of-the-line media streamer, capable of playing nearly any file you throw at it, and streaming media from many of the most popular sources, right to any TV. And as a special bonus, today only you can save $20 on it, to boot, as part of Amazon’s Deal of the Day. When she asks you how much it cost, just turn on Angry Birds, hand her the motion control remote, and run.
