Samsung has announced partnerships with Netflix and Pandora that adds streaming media capabilities to its BD-P2500 and BD-P2550 Blu-ray players. The agreements enable owners of the Blu-ray players and broadband Internet connections to stream movies directly to their televisions from video rental service Netflix, along with personalized music streams from Pandora.
Both Samsung Blu-ray players are available now; current owners can upgrade their units at no charge to support the new streaming media features. Updaters appear to require a Windows PC. The update also adds support for interactive content via BD LIve.
