Source : CDR InfoSamsung and Netflix announced a partnership that allows Netflix to propose on the burners BD-P2550 and BD-P2500 the renting of on-line films that will be streamed from their servers.
The customers will even have the possibility of a double subscription, with the possibility of viewing the contents on-line, and of renting Blu-ray discs by correspondence.
For American, this offer; is not uninteresting, since these compatible readers are marketed at less than $400, a price rather close to readers without these functions.
It is especially a big success for Netflix who have already signed a similar partnership with LG and its Blu-ray readers; this brings a more serious competitor to the iTunes Store and the sorry Apple TV which although equipped with other advantages marks time here.
