After dropping $400 on your Xbox you would think this new Netflix capability would come for free. Well it doesn’t. Of course you have to subscribe to Netflix, but guess what, you’ve got to subscribe to Xbox Live (Gold) too. That’ll be another $50 please. Ok, that’s only 4 bucks and change per month, but still. A lot of people think Live should be free anyway, myself included. For just $50 more you could buy the Roku box which will get you movies with no additional fee.

OR

for just a little more get LG’s just announced BD300 Network Blu-ray player

That’s right, for an estimated $350 not only will you get Netflix streaming movies but you’ll also be the proud owner of a Blu-ray player.  Beat that Xbox360!  Scheduled for release this September it’ll probably beat the Xbox solution by months.
