    LG Sets Price for BD300 Netflix Blu-ray Player: A Reasonable $400

    LG kicks off the press conferences here at CEDIA in Denver. After teasing the Netflix-streaming LG BD300 Blu-ray player, a double threat if I ever saw one, they finally told us the price today: $400, well below the $500 mark LG was aiming to stay under. (Keep in mind, the Netflix box by Roku is, by itself, $100.) LG says the BD300 will be appearing in stores by end of this month or first week in October.

    Some added BD300 specs:
    Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding
    USB Media Plus - MP3, JPEG, etc.
    BD-Live and BonusView
    Full 1080p output including DVD upconverting
    Netflix current content: 12,000 movies and TV shows streaming
