@decyde: What's better than a Roku for $40? And smart TV's come with alot of apps sure - but a $300 TV doesn't. Or an older TV.....which people aren't going to upgrade if they can buy a $40 Roku. Just sayin'.

On another note.....Roku just upgraded it's whole product line. There will be lots of selloffs of the old models as a result. So if you're worried about this particular site, I'm sure something else will come along soon.

I bought a bad router from 1sale previously. When i complained that it was junk they refunded me my money without having to return it. So they won points in my book. I have purchased from them a few times and they have been good to me. Roku just redid their entire line the other day though, so i am assuming this is the old model versions.

I bought a Roku 3 to give it a go with online streaming. I was pretty disappointed. Damn near all smart TV's come with a built in Roku today and there are better streaming devices out there for the price.

@beenyweeny: It has awful reviews because people don't realize when they purchase the ship times from this site. Sometimes items can take up to 3 weeks to ship, I've known a few people as well as myself who've used this site positively, you just have to realize going into it not to expect it in the same week.

@mgherter: Hopefully devs start working on chromecast apps then I would fully heartedly say that was better then roku, for now though roku is a solid pick for anyone that already has a large tv and doesn't feel like spending 800$+ to replace it with a "smart tv"

The price is a pretty good deal, but I have to say that 1sale/1saleaday is absolutely awful with regard to customer service & shipping times. Yes, I already know that they post 1-2week/2-3week shipping times (these are BUSINESS WEEKS & these are times before the item is even in the mail) but they, often, provide unreliable tracking information. This can & will become quite frustrating to someone who expects that something is on its way when it actually isn't. On my last 3 shipments, the tracking numbers I received from them TOOK AT LEAST 7-10 DAYS TO SHOW MOVEMENT & I am now waiting on my final order from this company to start moving & arrive & will cease any further business with them. It is a shame to have a vendor with decent bargains but you have to roll dice each time you order. To add insult to injury, there is almost non-existent phone support & their email support consists of canned replies that take 48+ hours.

@decyde: I don't believe any of the Smart TVs come with (or support) the Plex media client which is, hands down, the single best reason to own a Roku (and well worth more than the $40 you'd pay for this deal). I bought a Roku HD for $40 a year ago from Amazon and certainly we do use the Amazon, Netflix, and Vudu apps plenty, but none of them combined as much as we use Plex for streaming content stored on the Mac Mini upstairs (there are also Plex servers for Linux, and even for Windows too).

@gbeenie: They are? I have an AppleTV (1st-gen), a WD Live, and a Roku (and an XBOX 360, but I avoid using that as a media device as it's the saddest excuse ever for a media client). While all of them have ethernet jacks, I've never wired them in; always have run them over 802.11n, and rarely have had an issue. I suppose if I were pushing some seriously high bit-rate 1080p content, I might have troubles.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
