Seems like a real smart move for LG, hopefully they make a quality player.

Exactly why PS3 shouldnt have BluRay built in. I would much rather have a hybrid player than be stuck being redundant. This HD war is a joke. And we are the punch line.

if it's priced reasonably I'll buy one..

I have zero interest in buying one type of player or another, but having both in one player is something that really interests me.

I want HD movies, and I want them on a disc, but I don't want to drop hundreds on discs and equipment that will become obsolete if it looses a format war.

I think if a player like this comes out the format war will never end, instead people will just buy the dual format players and it will wind up like DVD-R and DVD+R

Now if MS would adopt this for a new add on, it would be a great idea. Since MS isn't bound to any of these formats, it would work in their favor. Giving the customers even more choice.

I'm right there with ya.  If it's reasonable, I'm in.
