PlayOn’s media server software — capable of streaming Internet video from YouTube, Hulu, CBS, Netflix, CNN, ESPN and others to your PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 or other DLNA compliant hardware via a PC — is finally out of beta. Going official means the trial period resets to 14 days for all users, keeping it after that will require $29.99. So tell us, now that Netflix streaming is implemented, bugs have been stomped and Wii support on the way, is it worth the one time payment to keep this service?

Toshiba rolls out new REGZA HDTV line, internet connected crew coming later

Posted in: hdtv, Today's Chili, Toshiba, Yahoo

CES is in full swing here in Vegas, and Toshiba’s taking the liberty of busting out a litany of new REGZA HDTVs. New features include a fresh Deep Lagoon Design, which supposedly provides a “three dimensional feeling to a clear flat design.” Furthermore, you’ll find invisible speakers and an Infinity Flash Front, and functionally, the InstaPort feature enables HDMI switching to occur in just a fraction of a second. As expected, these sets also offer the Resolution+ Super Resolution Technology and the PixelPure 5G engine, but it’s not the new line that’s truly intriguing. Instead, we’re already anxious to feast our eyes upon the Widget Channel-capable family that’ll be introduced later this year; furthermore, these HDTVs will be DLNA certified and have Extender for Windows Media Center capabilities baked right in. So, who here’s buying one of the “new” XV645, ZV650 or SV670s when you know what’s on the way? Is that a sea of crickets we hear? Full release is after the break.
