The internet’s ability to deliver an endless supply of kick-ass content to your home theater may eventually mean the death of Blu-ray discs.  But that’s years in the future, and you have friends to impress and brain cells to waste right now.

So check this out: Besides playing Blu-ray Profile 2.0 discs, the BD-P4600 can reach into the internet and pull out any title from Netflix’s wild and weird “Watch Instantly” library on demand (if you’re a subscriber).  After the movie you can use it to fire up internet radio super-service Pandora on-screen.

While BD movies get cheaper and the quality of internet video increases, the content war will intensify: Get this gadget, shut yourself in, and enjoy the best of both worlds now.

You can get your very own Samsung BD-P4600 from Amazon for only $399. It was $500.
