With so many streaming options, how do you decide which streaming devices help you get the most for your money?

Do you something as simple as a Chromecast or do you need something as expensive and as an Xbox or Playstation console? Maybe you have an HDTV that has streaming apps built in and therefore may not need a separate device taking up space on your TV stand.

But there is also the possibility that it may depend on what type of smartphone you carry. If you are an iPhone user, it may be best to get an Apple TV so that any music or movies you have purchased on iTunes seamlessly carry over. Same can hold true for Android users. Chromecast or Nexus Player may fit your needs.

Whatever your situation, these days it can take some thought to truly figure out what direction to go when it comes to the confusing world of streaming devices.
