consumers are more likely to choose either a HD DVD player or a BD player than a dual-format model, the sources analyzed.

consumers are more likely to choose the best value format and a dual format one would be the best value, who ever the sources are the need to re-examine their information.

i agree. consumers dont care about some lame format war. these dual players are the best solution and nice big screw you to the corporations who think they can take advantage of us.
 
wow, that is cool. Id like to get one of these new players, but really, I dont see myself spending the bucks on a bd or hd dvd movie.
 
Im waiting for the Sharp Blue Ray Player...Its gonna be cheap and awesome :)
 
Only US$545, that's really cheap IMO for a Dual Format Player. LG's Combo Player is $1100, and doesn't have all of the features of HD-DVD/Blu-Ray. This is really cheap, and something I'd get.
 
wow it's way more affordable than the one that came out before it. good move samsung.
