They've got to go something with those losses from the great Twinkie shortage .
Are there ebay day traders ?

Google also dropped the three free months of NetFlix.

from the Amazon page:

Since theres not much to watch on NF streaming -- its not that appealing.

This varies GREATLY depending on the viewer(s) in question.
I don't think I'll ever run out of shows, documentaries and movies on Netflix. There's not enough spare time in my life to keep up.
as always, YMMV.

But then I'm the fool that avoids something like Ice Road Truckers and Swamp Loggers because I'll somehow get into it even while knowing better.

So tell me how this is better than either Apple TV or the Roku 3?
Seems you pay less and get less. You need a device with a Chrome browser or you can't do anything with it. With either the ATV or Roku, all you need is the remote. There are too many damn set-top boxes and none of them are ideal. Roku 3 comes the closest, in my opinion.
