...

It has been several months now since the Blu-ray camp made HD DVD tap out in the ultimate HD fighting championships. Now that Blu-ray is the HD standard, we are starting to see more Blu-ray players hit the market with new and interesting features to set it apart from the Blu-ray masses.

LG has announced the first Blu-ray player to offer the ability to stream movies instantly from Netflix. The player is called the LG BD300 Network Blu-ray Disc Player. Netflix subscribers can use the player to instantly stream any of the 12,000 TV shows and movies from Netflix to their HDTV.

The streaming service from Netflix the LG player accesses is the same thing that Xbox 360 owners recently received access to. Other features of the BD300 include BD Live, support for 1080p resolution and the ability to upscale standard DVDs to 1080p resolution. Pricing and availability for the BD300 are unknown at this time.
