I'm in the market for a wireless internet ready media device to install in our living room. I've searched newegg and amazon a bit but I'm not really getting a good feeling on anything. BluRay isn't necessary if there's a DVD internet ready device that's better. Mostly I want it so she can enjoy her netflix viewing downstairs away from my man cave. =)

Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Edit: crap, posted in wrong forum.

Just ask if you can get it moved.

Your main options are;

Apple TV
Roku (there are several versions)
WD TV Live
Boxee Box (most expensive option and mainly for storing your own media)

Or you can do what I did, and buy an old used wii and hack it to play dvds. Takes like 10 minutes and there's your netflix and dvd device. Gaming is a bonus.

A cheap 360. Keep an eye out for a good price on a 4gb slim model, so you know it'll be quiet (I think Jasper models are quiet too, they're the last ones before the slim.)

you can use it for dvd, netflix, and avi files.


Edit: Disregard this if you need Xbox Live Gold in order to use Netflix on the 360.
