When I bought this unit, I did it because of two main reasons: it could be hacked for region-free play and it could stream from my PC, as a media center. The latter I haven't yet tried, but I am very much frustrated about the former attribute. Apparently, if you buy the BD390 or the BD370 in the US, you don't get a firmware that allows you to change region and it blocks the hack.
As I haven't yet tried the streaming capability I can't say nothing about it, but let's hope it works as such.
At the time I didn't buy Pioneer and JVC models, or even the Oppo, all of them having much better image quality. But I felt I was getting a better deal from LG. If you also think so, think again, as you are not. AFAIk, right now only Oppo allows a firmware hack to change DVD region and make it region-free.
