Which Roku do you have? Or do you recommend something else? We aren't interested in Apple TV and Google Chromecast isn't compatible with Amazon Prime movies.
Looking to use this with our bedroom tv. We have a PS3 with our main tv.

Roku 3. The price difference is pretty minimal, IIRC, and it has some nice features. We love the automatic subtitling when you hit the "back" button -- that's genius for "what did he just say?" people like us. Having the option to plug headphones into the remote is cool, although we haven't tried it yet. The menus are better, and the automatic playing of the next episode in a series is a double-edged sword, but awesome for the kid who gets up at 6:30 and watches t.v. in bed with me until I have to get up -- I don't have to wake up every 20 minutes to hit "next." :-)

This is a marriage saver for us, as I am a reader and H is a TV watcher before bed.
I wasn't sure about the 2 or 3. I figured we could add the 2 to our guest room tv...but we don't get many guests. Then I wasn't sure if the stick was the better option.
H and I have done some cancer studies that provide Amazon credit so I thought I'd get a Roku to make the time he's stuck in bed even more enjoyable. :-)
