The Roku box will now include an Amazon Instant Video Channel. It is 1080p capable and available in various versions starting at $59.99. Its other channels include Netflix and Hulu Plus.

You can get a free one-month trial of Prime, after which the price is $79/year. In addition to free two-day shipping with no minimum purchase, it offers one-day shipping for $3.99 per item. For more on Amazon Prime, see Amazon.
