Sony Blu-ray Offers YouTube, Slacker, Web Streaming

By Troy Dreier

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.
