LG's BH100 hybrid Blu-ray & HD DVD player

Finally somebody has taken the plunge and created a hybrid Blu-ray & HD DVD player. Everyone has been waiting for one company to make this product so this stupid HD format war will end. Now it doesn't matter if you have a player that can read both. I think now that the bomb has been dropped more companies will follow suite. Of course I'm not running out to buy one at $1300 but it is a step in the right direction.

LG has set the price for its BH100 combination Blu-ray and HD DVD player at $1,199. Available in the first quarter of this year, the company thinks it can resolve buyer confusion and push both high-def formats using Broadcom's chipset. 1080p and DTS-HD audio support are present and accounted for, but no word yet on other features, like 1080p24 or HDMI 1.3 - engadget.com
