Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Buy an HD-DVD Player

["Vern Green" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Well, the big reason I would think for not having two machines sitting in your stereo cabinet. I am not sure how it all works, but there could also be a limit in the number of HDTV inputs you can have on a product, so if you have HDTV and HD-DVD, you would not have HDMI connection for a third product, (though you might still be able to use component connections)

 

Outside of that I would not know.
 

Here are some more recent articles.

I'm a little confused about this.  The article is from 2005, but I
remember hearing back around that time that there would be no dual-format
player.  Development was being blocked somehow.  Now I see this in the
news:

Which says that Samsung's dual player costs $999.  This despite the fact
that you could buy both a Blu-ray player and an HD-DVD player for about
$500.  So what good is a dual player?  It takes up less space?  It is
selling now:
