Panasonic DMP-BDT220 Integrated Wi-Fi 3D Blu-ray DVD Player $80 + Free Shipping

i think panasonic menus are some of the most retarded out there. i don't understand why these tv/media player manufacturers don't outsource this shiet to google or microsoft

Quote from flam253 : can i connect a usb hard drive to this and play movies off of it? I have a variety of movies in different formats

If you plan on doing that, I would go with another brand like Samsung. I have the BDT220 and it's file support is lackluster, imo.

Well, Panasonic has always been a top tier brand for blu-ray players. For a long time they had the best picture quality and best dvd upconversion. They are still rated about the best for blu-ray players.

One area the BDT220 sucks in is the file formats supported though which is where they get bad marks. They do not support xvid or divx and I think a few others, which is unfortunate.

Purchased this from amazon for 79.99 around Black Friday. Connected to wifi right out of the box and was streaming Netflix and YouTube videos within seconds. Didn't have a problem with the menus and love the remote. Has direct buttons straight to Internet, Netflix, Skype etc. great price on a great player

I thinks that's pretty much what dealighted was saying, no?

blu ray players are picky picky when it comes to this, if you want to do a lot of it, get yourself a wdtv live, plays EVERYTHING from hard drive including iso.... lol, no blu ray player but best out there for playing local media

Good price and good Blu-Ray player. I already own it. Con: The remote SUCKS.

Ah damn I got this refurbished for $58 from Cowboom to try getting around cinavia but if it doesn't read divx or xvid files I got it for nothing. Well at least the picture quality will be better I had a Panasonic BDT100 and the picture quality was always the best out of the Samsung I had and the Sony I have now. Only reason I sold that one was because it didn't do DLNA. I guess I'm going to end up leaving my Sony S580 connected afterall. I will use this one for watching actual movies from disk and the Sony for streamed xvid/divx content without cinavia protection.

They just removed it from the website.

The Sony blueray players only supports one video format on USB files - MPEG and nothing else

well the deal is no longer active but I have a question. I stream my videos (xvid, mp4, etc) from my computer to downstairs via ps3. Could I achieve the same things with this unit? I was thinking of picking this up for my non-HDMI tv in the bedroom and streaming media there.

So Sony players don't support divx/Xvid but Samsung does?

I think webpage went down 9 pm (pts) but you might be able to get it at the store?
