Smithfield, NC | I disagree. A Beta/VHS player was impractical due to requiring two complete transport/playback systems. HD and BD use the same size disk, so all that's needed is the right lasers and firmware. If both formats hold out, and they will, dual format players ARE coming, probably from China first. And that's when I will buy one. |

Smithfield, NC | Ha, did not know that. Unfortunately you can buy separate players for less than that one costs, so it's still useless, but that will change. |

Not so fast there:
"On January 7, 2007, LG Electronics announced the release of the BH-100 (Super-Multi Blue Player), the first player to market that was able to play movies from both high definition formats. It is not able to utilize the interactive menus and features (HDi) of the HD DVD format."
It's more of a complete Blu-Ray machine that can also play HD-DVD movies. Just wanted everyone to know before they run out and get this thing. |

HDDVD appears to be winning the online war too. most of the releases of HD movies are from HDDVDs in x264 format. |
|
| What online war? HD DVD isn't winning by any measure in any way. There are far fewer HD DVD players out and they sell reliably far fewer titles thank blu-ray. |
