New Roku device lineup includes most wallet-friendly version yet
Roku today announced five new devices including the $29.99 Roku Express, its cheapest model ever. While the Express supports 1080 HD streaming, the $39.99 Express+ is actually more expensive because it supports older TVs with a Red/White/Yellow connection.
