I don't see any benefit over the Sony Blueray player I already have connected. It covers the services I actually use like Hulu, Netflix and Amazon. So, is this for people that don't have a connected device? I don't really get it. Do you have a blu-ray player?

blu-ray player?
I have two of them in the basement along with a couple boxes of Blu-Ray Discs, and they're so last decade. ;-)
This device takes zero shelf space as it plugs into the back of our TV and it has more built-in Apps and services, additional downloadable Apps (w/o doing firmware updates), personal streaming capability, and more content partners than what is available for our Blu-Ray players.
Being purpose-built like the AppleTV, Roku, and other similar small boxes and tiny HDMI 'sticks', the menus and navigation are a lot faster and better designed vs what I find on Blu-Ray players and smart TV's where these capabilities are secondary.
Being a tiny HDMI plug-in device only slightly larger than a USB thumb drive, it's also portable for travel. The remote is also small.
At $39.95 the Fire TV stick is cheap for what it does. At the promo price of $19.95 I had nothing to lose and we love it!
I have a Roku and it works as well?
