LG Adds CinemaNow to Two Blu-Ray Decks
LG is set to roll out two more Blu-ray players which will include CinemaNow along with them. The players are the LG BD 370 and the LG BD 390
. Dirty stuff:
The players, announced previously at International CES, incorporate Ethernet ports and, in the case of the BD390, Wi-Fi capabilities to link with in-home networks to access the Internet.
The BD390 is being billed as the first-ever Blu-ray player to offer interactive download-to-own and Pay-Per-View options, allowing consumers to purchase content from Roxio CinemaNow through the player.
The BD390 also has 1GB of built-in memory for BD Live functionality.
Both the BD370 ($300 suggested retail) and BD390 ($400) began offering the Roxio CinemaNow service through a free, automatic firmware update on May 14.
The players also continue to offer access to YouTube, and Netflix streaming video content.
Both players include UBS inputs and will output a range of resolution formats including FullHD 1080p, with 1080p up-scaling for standard DVDs.
Kind of interesting how they keep adding features to all of the Blu-ray players to help prevent the disc format from going away completely. Thanks to Twice.
