I dont need to know what he needs it for its a better option hands down, now if you dont want to spend the money or want to use it for a kids room then maybe you can consider the Chromecast

he wants to get the most out of it so I suggested the Roku

if he wants to check out their comparisons he can look below

Why u listening to him?

:whoa:

Well I did say what I mainly used the PS3 for. I used the PS3 Media Server to copy or watch stuff I downloaded from my PC.

Dude came through and said the Roku is a better option, I have some knowledge on how the Roku works but nothing much on Chromecast. Which one is simpler? What can one do the other can't?

I'm confused with the replies in this thread.

I just bought it and it's in the mail. Everyone I have spoken to about it says Chromecast is awesome.

Maybe some people have bad internet connection?
