T3: LG is about to make your current Blu-ray player look so 2008, with a range of new networked players offering full access to the YouTube catalogue.
Launching at the forthcoming CES, the as-yet unnamed models will focus on both Blu-ray playback and on-demand entertainment, with deals in place with US movie retailers CinemaNow and Netflix. And if the bank balance is looking bleak, YouTube will be available for clips of comic pets and bootlegged gig footage.
Ok, we’re talking US services right now, but the technology is universal. So don’t be surprised to see these new players in the UK not long after the US launches.
