    Buy A Blu-ray Player, Get A Free Roku Box!

    If you’re looking to pick up a Blu-ray player for your home theater system, then Marantz has a deal for you.  If you pick up one of Marantz’s Blu-ray players, they’re offering a free Roku box for your purchase.  Not only will you be getting your Blu-ray and DVD on, you’ll also be able to stream content from Netflix, Amazon, Pandora, and more!  Best of all, it’s a Roku HD player, so you won’t miss out on the picture quality.

    You can check out the Marantz Bly-ray player line-up here, but bear in mind that Marantz is the top of the line in BD technology.  That means you’ll be paying out a pretty penny for your Blu-ray, from $6000 to about $550 for the cheap version. That’s a nice bonus if you’re in the market for a Marantz, but otherwise, you’re putting down a lot of money that you could spend on other things.  For example, here’s some Blu-ray comparisons.

    A new Roku HD box is only $99 at Amazon.  A new PS3 is $370 at Amazon.  Or, if you’re really looking to save some cash for this feature, you can get an LG BD 370 networkable Blu-ray player for $170 that both plays Blu-ray discs and streams Netflix and other on-demand video.  For $270 plus tax you could have the same setup that would cost you $550 via Marantz.  For $470, you can have the same setup with the ability to play video games.

    The PS3 is supposedly still the best Blu-ray player on the market for the price, according to some guy I talked with at Best Buy this weekend, so shop wisely.
