LG's WiFi-enabled, DivX-friendly BD390 Blu-ray player now shipping

LG continues to up its game in the Blu-ray department, first shipping the planet's first Netflix-enabled BD deck and now shipping the planet's first DivX HD 1080p certified player. Yep, the BD390 -- which was originally unveiled back at CES this year -- is now making its way out to eager consumers, boasting an 802.11n WiFi module and support for DivX streaming from a DLNA server. The pain? $399.95, but at least that includes BD-Live support, 7.1-channel audio output, 1GB of inbuilt memory and a USB 2.0 socket.

Erm...this one from Samsung also appears to be Netflix enabled - not that this is of any use to us in the UK yet!!!

Both look pretty tasty bits of kit to me though!

LG was the first to do Netflix, this unit still supports Netflix, and its been on the shelf for a month now. THE BDP1600/3600/4600 do netflix from Samsung too. The upside of this unit is no Dongle for Wi-Fi. THe upshot of the Samsung is you can use the Dongle on a Sammie TV too for the internet widgets, The 1600 unit isn't the Best Wi-Fi deal, since the dongle in $80

So this:
plays Blu-rays (of course)
streams Netflix
streams DivX files from your computer

Only thing it's missing to replace my PS3 is Hulu support.

I picked this up on Monday. I had purchased the Samsung 3600 on Friday, but it went back for lack of DIVX HD support and other codecs..
I really like this LG. Netflix, YouTube streaming services look great. Includes Nero MediaHome 4 lite, upgraded to fullversion for $23, added transcoding for other filetypes.
Very happy with the purchase. It has actually given me a reason to sit in the living room again...LOL
