Does anyone have the LG BD370 (http://www.lge.com/us/tv-audio-video/video/LG-blu-ray-dvd-player-BD370.jsp)?

I have DirecTV and I love it. But, I am getting tired of paying $2 to $6 everytime I want to watch a movie. :eek:

For less than $10 a month thru Netflix I could watch dozens of movies each month. The LG DB370 allows internet streaming of movies so you don't have to wait for the snail mail.

I don't have a Blu-Ray player, so I am thinking about getting this.

Any thoughts?

I bought a Sony BDP-S550 blue ray in December and I am very pleased with it. Not to knock LG, but it is the former Goldstar brand in a new package. Remember ... Sony first invented CD technology, and also made the first blue ray disc player.

How about the Samsung BD-P2550 (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8901227&type=product&id=1217634016243)? It also has the Netflix streaming option.

Plus, it got better reviews than both the Sony and the LG! :D

Well, I don't have the cash right now to buy one. I guess I could just put in on my credit card and pay it off much later.

Hey! That's a great idea! We can all get out of this economic mess just by borrowing money and spending it on stuff.

Someone should tell Obama about this plan. Oh wait, he's already doing that! :rolleyes:

The LG player is nice. Very quick to load too.

The Samsung is "ok". If it were me - LG!

The LG has coax digital audio. The Samsung only has optical.

I need to use coax, so I am leaning towards the LG.

Coax is better too. Alot of times optical doesn't line up 100% in the jack due to different mfg tolerances. Kicks in error correction "circuit" some.
Make sure the coax cable is 75 ohm!!!
