Roku 2 Streaming Player (Black) (Roku 2720R ) Review

I've had a Roku 3 hooked up to my living room TV for a while now so I thought I'd do a comparison between the two devices.

First here is where they differ:

Roku 3
HDMI-only - if you have a TV without HDMI inputs then the Roku 3 is not for you
Very quick response on the menu system
Motion remote
Ethernet jack
Came with a nice pair of purple headphones

Roku 2
HDMI and component outputs so it can be used with a new HDTV or an older standard definition TV
No motion remote - this only really matters if you use the remote to play games on the Roku. Most people won't miss it
Wi-fi only - No ethernet jack so that there's room for both HDMI and component outputs. If you don't have a wireless network I will look at you funny
The headphones that come with the Roku 2 remind me of Apple's old headphones only purple - they hurt my ears in the same way (if a free pair of crappy headphones is a deal breaker I recommend you straighten out your priorities)

Here is where they are the same:

Wi-fi direct remote - the remote is NOT Bluetooth. It uses a technology called Wifi direct which is why you may occasionally see a weird wireless network called "Roku-something something". The wifi direct remote is very low power and is extremely responsive
The headphone jack in the remote works wonderfully and the sound is fantastic
Streaming media - Everything looks great. The Roku 2 has a slower processor than the 3, but it doesn't suffer from any problems playing back HD content streaming over the internet. The Roku 2 is able to handle everything that the 3 can do and for $20 less.

Verdict:

The Roku 2 is a great streaming device. If you absolutely MUST have a wired network jack get the Roku 3. If you MUST play Angry Birds on your TV get a Roku 3. Get the Roku 2 unless you MUST have the motion remote or the wired ethernet jack. Honestly you really can't go wrong with either device - and it's not hard to find the Roku 3 on sale. I just checked online and found that Roku was selling it direct for $10 under retail so today (October 23, 2013) the Roku 3 is only $10 more than the 2.

I like both the Roku 2 and Roku 3. I probably like my 3 a tiny bit more, but there is not really a downside to getting a Roku 2. It's a great bargain for the content you get access to. If the differences don't matter get the Roku 2 - unless the Roku 3 is on sale again, then pony up the extra $10.

Also - get the iPhone/Android Roku app. It makes for a great additional remote for the devices and allows you to type using a normal keyboard instead of having to use the D-Pad to select individual letters if you're searching for something on Netflix or Hulu or logging into a service.

NOTE: I would recommend either the 2 or 3 over the Roku 1 for one simple reason - the remote. The Roku 1 has an IR remote which means you MUST have line-of-sight to control the Roku. The wifi direct remote allows you to hide the Roku so you don't have yet another little box on a shelf in your entertainment system and you don't have to worry about your dog/child/passing wildebeest standing in front of you and preventing you from pausing that episode of Breaking Bad you were streaming off of Netflix.
