yeah, no one knows and engadget doesn't care to ask the real questions.]]>Jan 8th 2010 12:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/funai-panasonic-sanyo-sharp-and-toshiba-to-launch-netflix-ena/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/funai-panasonic-sanyo-sharp-and-toshiba-to-launch-netflix-ena/
This is EXACTLY what I want to know. The ONLY thing holding be back from buying a BD60 Panisonic Blu-ray player is the lack of Netflix streaming. If I knew it was going to be coming to it I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Maybe I'll send Panasonic an email stating this and saying I'm going to buy a Samsung if I can't get an answer :).]]>Jan 14th 2010 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/funai-panasonic-sanyo-sharp-and-toshiba-to-launch-netflix-ena/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/funai-panasonic-sanyo-sharp-and-toshiba-to-launch-netflix-ena/
Found this link after a google search that was talking about Panasonic and their Netflix Adoption.

"Unfortunately, due to the different chip-set requirements of Netflix, 2009 Blu-ray Disc players featuring VIERA Cast will not be able to use the new service offering."]]>Jan 14th 2010 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/funai-panasonic-sanyo-sharp-and-toshiba-to-launch-netflix-ena/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/funai-panasonic-sanyo-sharp-and-toshiba-to-launch-netflix-ena/Jan 14th 2010 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/funai-panasonic-sanyo-sharp-and-toshiba-to-launch-netflix-ena/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/funai-panasonic-sanyo-sharp-and-toshiba-to-launch-netflix-ena/
I was having the same problem. I went with the 50" S1 TV over the 42" G10 due to a great deal I found on the S1, so I didn't get VieraCast then. Now, I was going to get the Panasonic BD-60 Blu-Ray player, hoping it was going to have Netflix support this Spring, but it seems like it won't.

I don't think I'm going to wait until the BD-65, though. You can get the BD-60 for under $130 (was originally $300 when it first came out). I'm pretty sure the BD-65 will be between $200 and $300 when it arrives and that's more money than I want to spend for a Netflix service (the faster boot up time would've been nice).

I can get Netflix on my Xbox360 (if I want to pay for Live Gold every year) or via computer hook up (if I want to use a keyboard and mouse) or even Wii later on (if I want poorer resolution and having to put in a disc every time). It just would've been simpler on the Blu-ray player.

Netflix doesn't even have that great of an online streaming selection right now. It's gotten better, but hopefully it will be just as good as their mailing service someday. In the end ... it's not my biggest decision on buying. I could go for a Samsung or Sony Blu-Ray player that has those services ... but quality and functionality are most important to me.

Wasn't it posted a while back that the Wii would get a disc similar to the one for PS3? Not that I care.

That was rumored based on a comment by Netflix as it being a possibility, but its unlikely right now, the Wii equipment wasn't ever intended for movies and its unlikely big N will go into a contract with a company dealing in movies, its primarily a game system.]]>Jan 7th 2010 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/funai-panasonic-sanyo-sharp-and-toshiba-to-launch-netflix-ena/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/funai-panasonic-sanyo-sharp-and-toshiba-to-launch-netflix-ena/Jan 8th 2010 9:39AM
