With the super cheap $15 Roku LE, exclusive to Walmart, Roku got a big Black Friday deal Yes, that's right It's a limited edition streaming device

The Roku LE is not yet listed on the Black Friday Roku Deals page, but it will soon have a seat at the table Why? This $15 streaming device looks a lot like the Roku Express, but at half the price

The Roku LE is $15 at Walmart, with a sale price starting at $2988 (Roku Express price)

Walmart Plus members can access it starting Monday, November 22, and all other members on November 26 (Black Friday) Click here to be the first to know about Walmart Black Friday deals

What does the LE in Roku LE stand for? Apparently it stands for "Limited Edition," and Roku states that the device will be available "exclusively at Walmart on Black Friday while supplies last"

A strict reading of this press release suggests that it will appear on Black Friday (November 26) and then be gone

The Roku LE will include a $5 Redbox code that will be included with every Roku sold at Walmart It also comes with a free 30-day trial of HBO Max

Roku is apparently silent on whether Roku LE can do more than stream HD video (Express was able to reach full HD 1080p with upscaling from 720p) Since the press release and Walmart's product page do not clearly explain the streaming resolution, we asked Roku for confirmation

The Roku LE has a small curved shell with a white plastic casing (as opposed to the black casing of the Express) If it is another version of Express, we would expect a very basic Roku streamer

And if the Roku LE remote control is the same as the Express one, we would expect it to be a bit more complicated In our testing, we found that a direct line of sight from the remote to the Roku Express and some pretty good aiming is required

It is the same Roku remote that comes with most entry-level Roku, including branded app buttons, menu navigation and buttons for rewinding programs

Roku's LE is for when you need to get the Roku app on your TV and you're not particularly concerned about video resolution or any perksRoku has tons of apps, practically all of them (YouTube on December 9 though Roku channels could disappear from the store), and this looks like the cheapest way to turn a dumb TV into a sort of smart TV It's also $3 cheaper than the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite It's currently marked down to $18 (from $29)

While the Roku LE is the cheapest Roku option currently available, we'd like to introduce our favorite streaming deal, the $29 Roku Streaming Stick 4K from Amazon Yes, that's $20 off $50 for a brand new Roku Streaming Stick 4K, and the Roku Streaming Stick 4K is our top pick for our Best Streaming Devices list
