Sony's latest Blu-ray player goes way beyond discs and brings the best of the Internet to your television. The BDP-N460 connects to your home network via an Ethernet cable or wirelessly with an optional Linksys Wireless Ethernet Bridge to bring YouTube, Slacker, and several other media services to your home theater system. The big get, Netflix, is coming this fall.
The BDP-N460 offers 1080p video, and 7.1 channel Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus audio. Besides playing Blu-ray discs, the player uses Sony's Precision Cinema HD Upscale technology to give standard definition discs a near-HD look.
You'll have to wait until October for this one, but it'll cost a reasonable $249.99. Look for it on sonystyle.com or at your local electronics store.

I feel bad for the consumers who have had trouble with their units, but so far mine has been good. Note: I am on Verison FiOS, with 25 Mbps download. I am in agreement with others who have said that video streaming sputtered a bit every so often, but for me this disappeared with the update to firmware version 123. Sony's release note says it "Improves connectivity for Internet video."
