There are DVD- and Bluray players with network/web capacity (RJ45 and/or
wireless) -- giving functionality somewhat like what Matt described for PS3
and XBox360.  They seem to start around $100.  I can't comment on what you
get at different price points. It seems that some can pull in pretty much
any video content on the web while others are limited.
