Amazon - Roku 3

Did you try and order one and were refused? I can still place an order for it on their site, no messages this side.
 
No it was in my cart for months now, no messages. Today a message appeared that they wont ship to me.:(
 
:(

We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to your selected destination. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order.

Sad day
 
That's odd. Allows me to order. Maybe you have to be in a major city.

Have you taken a look at getting an Android powered media player?

Depends what your usage case is. I recently picked up an Android box from AV Supply. If you want to use XBMC as your main media player then these are pretty sweet and I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth the interface was.

I'm not a XBMC user though but it does have all the Google Play store apps so I've loaded Plex on it although I'm having a bit of a hard time getting 5.1 audio working properly at the moment through Plex. Everything however works flawlessly in XBMC.

If 5.1 audio is not an issue for you then it may be a good option. It's a lot more open than the Roku but the apps are also not as optimised for TV usage yet - currently it also can only output 720p which is upscaled to 1080p on full hd sets but there is a lot of active development and this is something they're working on.

This is the one I have: http://www.avsupply.co.za/product_info.php/droidtv-media-player-with-android-422-and-xbmc-p-437
