Engadget's recession antidote: win a Roku Netflix Player!

Okay, this one's a little late today -- but better late then never. Right? Right? Right. Anyhow, we know that you're being crushed under the seemingly endless weight of economic despair and financial strife, and we want to help. That's why Engadget is giving away one thing every day until we run out of stuff and / or companies stop giving us products to hand out. It's our little way of putting the recess back in recession! Today you'll be playing for a Roku Netflix Player, so read the full rules below, and start commenting!

Special thanks to Roku for providing the gear!

The rules:

• Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for "fixing" the world economy, that'd be sweet too.
• You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
• If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
  
• Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.
• Winner will be chosen randomly. The winner will receive one Roku Netflix Player. Approximate value is $99.
  
• If you are chosen, you will be notified by email. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.
• Entries can be submitted until Tuesday, February 17th, 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
• Full rules can be found here.

Economy fix?
only buy things you can afford.

[Trunks Posted Feb 20th 2009 10:43AM]

These contests where we don't have to go out and buy shit seem like a pretty good way to save the consumer a little money for important things like their netflix account.

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 20th 2009 2:08PM]

Free roku boxes for some! Miniature American flags for others!

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 20th 2009 2:50PM]

This looks pretty sweet!!

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 20th 2009 3:56PM]

Well,
I didn't know much about this product until a couple of co-workers were talking about it.
I must add that I do like what I've read so far and would like to own one.

That being said, I think that some corporations are either not creating enough relevant products or too many of the same products. Some product line can be streamlined and only have a couple of price points (average and best).

Also, a little innovation would go a long way. Think of products that are useful and almost in every household and think of combining a few functions/features. Lots of products seem to have one function and it's hard to stand out when your competition is doing the same thing.

Goodluck...

[jupiterthunder Posted Feb 21st 2009 3:41AM]

I must have you. Though I just rearranged furniture to hook the comp to the TV, I'm not opposed to more rewiring.

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 23rd 2009 11:02PM]

I'd love this. (Netflix is a great thing in its original incarnation. I'd sure like to be able to do it this way.)

Fix the economy: Nationalize Bank of America, Citibank, and AIG, sell any good assets, and be done!
