LG Electronics will add video streaming features from CinemaNow and YouTube to its 2009 lineup of networked Blu-ray players, the company said Tuesday.
The company will be showing off the new functionality at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) next week in Las Vegas. (Click here for CNET's complete coverage of CES 2009.)
LG launched its first network-connected Blu-ray player in July with partner Netflix. As part of the deal, viewers get access to more than 12,000 movies and TV shows from Netflix.
I don't see how Blu-Ray is going to make it when there are far more superior and efficient ways to deliver videos to your TV. Something like the LG Blu-Ray box would be a hot seller even if it didn't have a Blu-Ray DVD player.
