Engadget HD Podcast 236 - 02.08.2011
This week's podcast is short and sweet, with pricing info for Panasonic's latest and greatest taking the top news slot, closely followed by an unsurprisingly lackluster launch for glasses-free 3DTVs. A pair of rumors concerning the return of old favorites in HD, and maybe even 3D, with whispers of Friends on Blu-ray and Halo: CE on Xbox 360. That's all just a prelude to a slew of streaming news from Hulu, Amazon and Comcast, before we close out with a surprising purchase by Dish Network and the latest update for Roku owners.
