LG's BD300 Netflix / Blu-ray deck gets delayed
October 10th has come and gone, and LG's BD300 has yet to leave the shipping dock. In fact, Circuit City is sending out notifications to consumers that pre-ordered the unit to inform them of the holdup. According to the note, the manufacturer (that'd be LG) has yet to release the product to the store for shipment, meaning that there's no telling when it'll finally be received. What's the deal, LG? Is this just a momentary snag, or something we should really be concerned about? Check the full e-mail after the jump.

Update: Seems that only some retailers are getting their shipments delayed -- hopefully you get lucky.

Well some must have gone out because there are already people who post on AVS that have them.

Yeah, we have them at Nebraska Furniture Mart in Kansas city. I looks pretty good, nothing to amazing.

I have one sitting in my bedroom right now. Netflix streaming works pretty well, though it is SD and not upscaled like DVDs. Hard to compare it to my other blu-ray as they are hooked up to different plasma tvs. Ultimately I'm very happy with it for 349. Btw if you have a DIR-655 router you'll need to downgrade your firmware to 1.1 for the netflix streaming to work. This is also true for the Roku player.

ummm.... if you read the news and watch stock prices, you will realize that Circuit's stock is down to 37 cents, and a large portion of their open to buy credit has been taken away by banks... they can't pay for their products.....

Yep C.C. is no longer on the "Retailers you can trust" list for manufacturers. Good riddance
