LG intro’s the Netflix streaming BD300 Blu-ray player

LG BD300

The new BD300 Blu-ray Player from LG is more than just a device to play Blu-ray format discs, as it can do a whole lot more. The BD300 allows for the streaming of movies, and can support many audio formats and has refresh rates of both 24Hz and 60Hz. Additionally, the BD300 does not have to be updated manually at any time, because an on-board Ethernet connection insures regular online updates.

Finally, the streaming isn’t the only great feature as this can also be used to access Netflix’s online library. I’m guessing from the visual that we’re seeing here is that the BD300 is similar to the functionality of the recently announced Roku Netflix Player.

All that, plus you got something else that you can play your disc based movies on, both in Blu-ray and standard DVD formats. You should be able to purchase the LG BD300 for about $399 this October.
