Big fan of Amazon Prime here, in Al. no tax, free 2 day shipping, free movies.
If you go Blu Ray to stream whatever, get a better one with a decent browser to enjoy lots of web content. Many players only have limited apps; compare. For just a little more than a Roku you get more 'net options, and a good time to upgrade to Blu Ray for disc movies if you have not already...
Be warned; most Blu Ray players with WiFi do not have a decent browser installed, and you will be limited to their apps. Some even allow you to control the player thru your smart phone via a free app, connect keyboards/mice to navigate much easier. Some even come with Google Chrome installed, and are upgradable. You can find these better players for around $150 and will be much happier...
