For NTFS MKV you need a WDTV]]>May 19th 2009 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/
Still it's great these devices are getting better and better. Netflix, YouTube, H.264 (with MKV), streaming DivX/XviD.. quite impressive for a 'standalone' unit. It's like having the WDTV inbuilt into your Blu-ray player.]]>May 20th 2009 5:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/May 19th 2009 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/May 19th 2009 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/May 19th 2009 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/May 19th 2009 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/May 19th 2009 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/May 19th 2009 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/May 19th 2009 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/
Pretty sweet. As for the ps3...please...

Anyways if it doesn't require a dongle then I'd actually go for this one over the Samsung 4600 model.

If this player is really DivX HD 1080p, then it can play MKV. But, its DivX' flavored MKV. (H.264 with AAC audio)

Now, if it can play DivX HD off a BD-R or DVD-R I would buy. Trying to stream HD is not that great.]]>May 19th 2009 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/May 19th 2009 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/May 19th 2009 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/May 19th 2009 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/
But with DLNA support, you just hook the USB drive to your computer, point your favorite DLNA server at the files/folders, then access it over the network...

I must say they are getting pretty close with these products to entice me to buy, but not at $399. Still too "early adopter" to me (says "proud" owner of one of the first "reference" DVD players, a Sony DVP-S7000, purchased for more than $1000).]]>May 19th 2009 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/May 19th 2009 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/May 19th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/May 19th 2009 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/May 19th 2009 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/lgs-wifi-enabled-divx-friendly-bd390-blu-ray-player-now-shippi/

Silver disks are an endangered species...and I am not paying more than $100 for something that plays them. HD DVD and BluRay fought so long that they both lost. Streaming video is here and the quality of BluRay over upscaled DVD is not earth-shattering. More importantly, consumers just don't care.

Give me a standalone $100 BluRay player and I'll jump. The media streamer is a different beast and I do not want it integrated with a disk player...just like I didn't want a DVD/VCR combo.
