LG Network Blu-ray Disc Player

Just found out about this. LG has a BD300 Network Blu-ray Disc Player that also works as a 1080p upscaling DVD player, and can also stream Netflix movies.

Nice, but I'm still partial to a Xbox 360 Console. Think about it...Netflix streaming movies (with Xbox Live and Netflix sub), online chat (with Xbox Live sub), gaming, video chat (with Xbox Live sub), multiplayer Street Fighter IV, ability to hook up to Media Center and play your music, use as a Karaoke machine with Lips...I could go on, of course.

Lust rating: meh

XBox 360 does QWERTY

Yep, it's true. It's a week after April Fool's so it must be. :)

You will now be able to IM via your XBox 360 according to this press release. There will even be a new attachment for your controller to enable this (pictured).

Man, you can be trash-talking via voice, and at the same time IM'ing someone to set up another game of poker. How sweet is that?
