On Thursday, LG Electronics launched the LG BD300 Network Blu-ray Disc player, a DVD player that will play both Blu-ray and standard definition discs. As a bonus, the player will also allow consumers to instantly stream any of the 12,000 movies and TV episodes available to Netflix subscribers.
With a wired broadband connection, Netflix members can access their account information and “Queue" via the BD300. Once there, customers can browse movie selections, read synopses, and rate movies. They will also be able to pause, fast forward, and rewind their film choices with the BD300's remote control. The player also features LG's BD Live functionality that provides bonus content, real-time extras, and special picture-in-picture access for selected Blu-ray discs.
