Yet very expensive but good.

If somebody has made a mistake then I am at least 99.9% certain that it is only between HDMI 2.0 or HDMI 2.0a.

The second generation of high definition players probably take about the same time to boot-up, because they have been speeded-up.

But the situation is still the same and that is that the picture quality of at least the Xbox HD player would probably be worst then any of the high definition players Blu-ray or HD DVD.

You are correct - have two game consoles, but you don't get two excellent high definition players.

Probably best to wait until LG brings out an HDMI 1.3 version with all the relevant functions, and check each and every feature and function, because HD products appears to be probably a worldwide con!

The chinese are probably correct to create a new system, the more I findout about HD the more corrupt it appears to be - What happened to the anti-monopoly laws?

Consumers don't usually have access to manuals and HDMI members don't have to tell consumers for example which HDMI versions they are using - probably a con!

But even if somebody wanted to buy a LG BH 100 they probably couldn't because of possible lawsuit:

If LG's PC version of BH100 actually plays all functions of the HD DVD (which I think that I saw some where probably on LG's website) then it makes me even more suspicious about the HD DVD being badly designed in the BH 100 Super Multi Blue Player!]]>Jan 12th 2007 3:44AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/07/lgs-bh100-hybrid-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-1-199/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/07/lgs-bh100-hybrid-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-1-199/Jan 7th 2007 6:31PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/07/lgs-bh100-hybrid-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-1-199/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/07/lgs-bh100-hybrid-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-1-199/Jan 7th 2007 11:14PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/07/lgs-bh100-hybrid-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-1-199/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/07/lgs-bh100-hybrid-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-1-199/
If I recall, Sony's first combo DVD+R/-R media burner retailed at around $400 while non-combo burners were around half that. This HD offering price is consistent in relation to single format players in my opinion.

Also, even though it will probably never be revealed, I'd like to know how much (% wise) of the price of this unit is going to Sony and it's family of supporters for BR licensing, vs. how much is going to the HD-DVD camp for licensing. I'd dare speculate it's at least $2-$1 to the BR camp.

Since HD-DVD (in my opinion) is the underdog format as far as the CE/Media industry is concerned, a dual format burner is more likely to benefit HD-DVD more than BR because it will cement it's existence as a format, not as necessarily a WINNER in the war, but at the very least, a persistent alternative format. I'm not saying this player in particular will do the trick for HD-DVD but in general a well performing combo player will. If HD-DVD doesn't die, there is no way BR and it's consortium can compete with that format in terms of costs of production.

This is not good news for the BR camp.]]>Jan 7th 2007 11:57PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/07/lgs-bh100-hybrid-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-1-199/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/07/lgs-bh100-hybrid-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-1-199/Jan 8th 2007 3:05PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/07/lgs-bh100-hybrid-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-1-199/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/07/lgs-bh100-hybrid-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-1-199/Jan 9th 2007 3:48AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/07/lgs-bh100-hybrid-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-1-199/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/07/lgs-bh100-hybrid-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-1-199/Jan 9th 2007 1:03PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/07/lgs-bh100-hybrid-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-1-199/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/07/lgs-bh100-hybrid-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-1-199/Will I have to go back to ripping?
