Sony Adds Netflix to Network Blu-ray Player

Sony Electronics has announced that owners of the Sony N460 Network Blu-ray Player will now be able to stream video content to the player as part of their standard Netflix subscription. Similar to other Netflix-streaming Blu-ray Players, content is delivered over an Internet connection to the player so it can displayed on the viewer's HDTV.

Sony's most popular Blu-ray Disc player, the PlayStation 3 (PS3) recently received a disc-based upgrade to achieve a similar functionality. No word if other Sony Blu-ray Disc players would receive an update as well.
