CE Pro reports that LG is considering making a player that's
compatible with both Blu-ray and HD DVD.
Great news. What took so long? The moment it was apparent that there would be two competing formats, this should have been on the table. The last thirty years has more than enough evidence (Beta vs. VHS, a single DVD standard, SACD vs. DVD-Audio, dual-format DVD burners ... need I go on?) that should make it plain that (a) format wars aren't good for anyone, and (b) if you can't resolve formats, someone will (or should) make a dual-format unit and start a domino effect. Consumers are happy, corporations make money, and all's well with the world.
Get cracking, LG.
lg being the leader in all electronics should once again be the leader not the follower and produce this unit for the consumer. way to go LG!!!
Very nice site!
