They had 50% off for father's day, then I saw a way on slickdeals to trick it to give you 50% off of that.....it worked

I was riding hard for the Roku initially... I even have 3 of them. But after some weird problems with Plex and streaming my local movies on them, I think the Chromecast is a great option. Do you download a lot of your content (TV shows/Movies)?
Well I did say what I mainly used the PS3 for. I used the PS3 Media Server to copy or watch stuff I downloaded from my PC.
Dude came through and said the Roku is a better option, I have some knowledge on how the Roku works but nothing much on Chromecast. Which one is simpler? What can one do the other can't?
Showbox is like showtime anywhere, HBO go, Hulu, and your neighborhood bootleggers all in one for free.
Yeah, Netflix for old shows/movies I may have missed out on (including foreign piff and it's original content), Amazon Instant Prime for back up, and torrent/direct links for the newer content.
For the downloaded content I used PS3 Media Server which streamed/copied almost every type of media I ran into (most importantly the MKVs).
Well, on the Chromecast you stream your local content without even using a media server.
All you need is this extension/app called Videostream in Chrome and you can select the file you want to play from your PC and stream it to your TV. With the Roku, I used Plex Media Server, and it worked fine for like a year and some months... then went to shyt. The interface for Plex is nice, but I only use it for TV shows that I happen to download the same night they run. I use the Chromecast for my movies because no media server is involved and there are less things that can go wrong/change to create problems.
Yeah, can't have the media server trippin' on me. I remember one revision of the PS3 Media Server had me watching shyt on my computer.
Right.
That's why I'm not even going to bother with Plex anymore. Had a great run, but
This is what I'm on now...
I've tried it with mkv files and the quality is excellent and I didn't have any issues with it playing straight through. Also, the remote/app that you have on your phone is easier to work with than with a server.
