Stand-alone ATV units start at around $100, which is more expensive than the Roku you might buy (or the apps that come free with your TV), and less expensive than the home game console you might already have.

These have been carefully picked to make sure they are appropriate for kids.We hear a lot of bad stuff about kids playing games.
