LG BD300, Blu-ray and Netflix Together at Last!
This September a new Blu-ray player will hit the market from LG that makes cunning use of the Ethernet port. The BD300 will be capable of streaming Netflix movies. Blu-ray Profile 2.0 certainly has its advantages.
Discuss "LG BD300, Blu-ray and Netflix Together at Last!" here. Read the article.

Ok, now this really has my attention! I don't want to "buy" movies. And blu ray only composes a small percentage of all movies released. But to be able to stream movies from netflix, and occassionally rent a big time movie in the BluRay format? Sheeet sign me up, that is a perfect combo.

Perfect would be if it played SACD, DVD-A and had 6 channel anolog out with full bass management. Still, it's got my interest as well.Originally Posted by davidtwotrees

Very highly unlikely in my opinion- at least in the short term. They're trying to push their own online rental product as part of the Playstation store. If that venture fails, then I could it see it happening.

You know alex, I agree, and I just bought a brand new $100 dollar Pioneer Elite DV48A partly because it does DVDA SACD, but truth be known, I rarely listen to my hi rez discs anymore since I bought a music server.
My Denon 3910 is for sale on ebay. Davidtwotrees. I will list it here shortly.

So, can anyone say more on this? I have ethernet to my rig rack, as well as close to my bedroom set up. I currently rent movies through blockbuster but would go back to netflix for this set up. Will they be streaming bluray hd movies?!

this is available for preorder from ABT electronics. $399 shipped is in my wheelhouse.
I have no desire to "buy" movies. To have them streamed into my home in hd is a huge deal to me, personally...........
However, no analog outs......but this might get me to jump into the hdmi based processor market............I no longer care about sacd and dvda.
Anyone know the release date.........I can't find it....

This unit sure looks a lot like the Panny to me. Thanks for the link. It has my attention as well. I have a 42" LG 1080P LCD so this may just be the one for me. Going to wait a bit longer though as Sony is supposed to drop the BR player prices very soon.
Cheers,

Phil, that looks nothing like the Panny. It doesn't even have multichannel analog outs. The menu looks like the BH200 as does the back panel. The front panel looks like a cleaner version of the BH200.

The spec sheet posted lists everything to be the same as the BH200 sans HD DVD playback. Internal decoding of DD+ and Dolby TrueHD but no DTS-HD? Check. AVC/BD-RE? Check. MP3 playback? Check. Same remote? Check.
Many of us are wondering if LG will add similar Netflix capabilities to the BH200. What is not clear is if the BD300 has the same excellent Marvell QDEO video processor that the BH200 and that $2200 Panasonic have. Hopefully, they didn't gimp that as well.
