LG Blu-ray Disc Player (BD370C) – from Futureshop (product url), I picked this up this weekend and got an extra surprise it game with 3 blu-ray movie pack which had Alien VS Predator (the second one), The day after tomorrow, and 27 Dresses. Now I picked this one over the cheaper version as this one connects to BD Live which is recommended so you can easily get software updates. The price as reasonable at $249.99.

It was easy to hook up just connected the hdmi and network cable then everything just worked, I had to manually tell it to check for a software update and it took about 3 min for the update to complete. I watched two movies The Day After Tomorrow and Iron Man rented from (block buster) and there wasn’t the slightest glitch at all. Only complaint was from my wife that she could see pimple on Robert Downey Jr.

Doing a side by side comparison there is definitely an improvement with blu-ray video and sound quality to dvd for people who have hd tv’s and are wondering if blu-ray is worth it. This one also has a direct connection to youtube so that you can search and watch youtube video’s through this blu-ray machine which was fun to play around with but great for finding some of those classic online shows like Chad Vader.

I am really pleased that this one is working out well without problems so I guess i’m not on the bandwagon of Ps3’s are the bluray of choice as I had nothing but problems as from my previous post.
