We just can’t seem to get enough of LG’s BD300 since it was introduced just yesterday. First we got pictures, now Crave gives us their hands-on impression of the new Blu-ray player.
Among their impressions, they note that the Netflix functionality is identical to that of a standalone Roku Netflix Player. You load up an “Instant” queue on your Netflix account, pair the LG player to your account, and then begin watching the movie or tv show as it streams using your broadband connection. Other features includes the ‘home’ button on the remote that give you instant access to the most common features such as Netflix, as seen in the picture above. The LG BD300 will also stream music and pictures from networked PCs or flash drives plugged into its front panel USB port.

LG Electronics and Netflix have announced the first Blu-ray player that allows Netflix members to stream more than 12,000 standard definition movies and television shows. The price of the BD300 will be “well under $500″ when it’s released this September.
Netflix members will not be charged any additional fees, apart from their monthly paid subscription. Members will add movies to their individual instant queues through the Netflix website. When selected from the TV, movies will then begin playing in as little as 30 seconds. Using the BD300’s remote control, users can browse, make selections, read synopses, rate movies, and fast-forward / rewind video streams. The BD300 will support BD Live and LG’s SimpLink technology to integrate with LG TVs and AV products.
