Conclusion: We like it
The Panasonic DMP-BDT220 is an affordably priced Blu-ray player stuffed with all the right features. Not only does it work with most of the major streaming video services, including Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Amazon, but it's also Skype-compatible, allowing you to video chat directly from your TV (with the addition of an optional webcam, of course). You can also play back your own videos, either via the unit's USB port, its SD card slots, or over your home network. And, yes, it's 3D-compatible.
