This was recommended to me in another thread. The Panasonic BD60 for about $130. http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=659420&postcount=4

How does it compare with the $199 Sony ?


Thanks,

Sorry...I can't help ya there. Considering the panny is only $130, I wouldn't sweat the decision too much. Get the Panny.......if you don't like it, trade it in.
LOL

The BD60 doesn't have Netflix, so doesn't fit the original request.

I hope that Panasonic will add it over firmware, but they haven't, yet.

Sorry Adam, I understand now thanks for clarifying. I was thinking NetFlix disc, not instant --My Bad.

No bad there at all, Forest. Maybe you interpreted it correctly. I just thought the OP meant streaming.

I went with the LG BD370 but it requires a wired network connection (I used a bridge). If that's not available then you may need to bust your budget and go with the BD390 with built in 802.11N.

 

[smooth2222]

yes ment streaming ofcourse.

 

[smooth2222]

its a christmas present. so just mainly want the netflix since my old man has the service. and ofcourse you always want the best bang for the buck

I like my Samsung

I bought a Samsung Blu-ray 1590 for $159.00 at Sam's Club, and I'm very happy with it. It streams a great picture from Netflix with my Wireless G Router. My only complaint is that the remote doesn't support my older model panasonic plasma tv, so I just have to juggle another remote.

 

[smooth2222]

can some people post some additional blu ray players with netflix that are good?

thanks

Another thought ..

Xbox360 with Xbox Gold will stream Netflix Good PQ with component video connection and whie/red RCA audio.

No BD, but you get a gaming system

Not trying to hijack this thread but I afraid my current Panny BD might be toast, so the idea of a new BD player with NetFlix streaming is very intriguing to me. The Sony BD that Buck_Eye mentions above provides streaming but only has an Ethernet connection. What is needed to connect wirelessly back to a router in another room ?

I guess the other option is the LG BD390 that Sholling mentioned; it has wireless.

Can the Wireless G router connect back to another router that is connected to the Internet?

You got a blu-ray player why not just get them to send you the better quality disc.

Yes configure it as a bridge in AD HOC mode.

Samsung offers a wireless ready at Sam's for $129; look nice. However, the Samsung wireless LAN card is $71.

If thefirmware doesn't fix the Panny i think I am going to get the LG-BD390 from NewEgg for $259. ( price will be less if I time it right).

'Forest Man, Thanks for the answer'


Peace and Good Sound to All,

I use a standalone Roku player for all my streaming.. (Netflix, Amazon, Pandora, etc.). That way I am not tied to any other component for those services.
But it is an additional $99. So for $230 you could get it all, including a very good basic player.
I know 'internet' players and now displays are becoming popular, but I am not that sold on them. Personal choice.
