LG announces Blu-ray player with Netflix streaming

LG has announced a new Blu-ray player that can stream Netflix videos. The BD300 will be available this fall for $400 and will have the standard Blu-ray features like 1080p resolution and five channel uncompressed audio playback. The player also has a USB port that plays music, pictures and videos from common handheld devices. Standard definition DVDs can also be played and the BD300 will upsample the video to 1080p resolutions. But perhaps the most interesting feature is the Netflix streaming, but sadly the video and audio quality will be extremely limited.

If video and audio quality will be limited...doesn't that defeat the point of Blu-ray?

I've been looking into different movies that really unleash the potential of my system. In my opinion it's the newly released Transformers movie. On 1080p, the picture is crystal clear, the colors are vibrant, and the sound is amazing, I swear you can practically feel those freakin' robots.
