LG’s New Blu-ray Player Gets Netflix Streaming

Netflix is slowly working its way into all sorts of boxes that are connected to your TV. First they released the Roku box, then they announced that Netflix streaming was coming to the Xbox 360, and now there’s the world’s first Blu-ray player with Netflix streaming. It’s the LG BD300, and it’s a sub-$500 Blu-ray player that allows anyone with a Netflix account to stream any movie viewable via the “watch now” feature in the Netflix library.

It’s a pretty great feature. Imagine, never having to wait for a movie to arrive in the mail again. You can just sit down, pick what movie you want to watch, and you’ll be able to watch it instantly. You can pause, fast forward and rewind, and there’s no limit to how many movies you can watch. It’s going to make the BD300 one of the top Blu-ray players on the market when it comes out this fall, and with good reason.
