LG is wanting to capitalize on the transition consumers. They see a market for HDDVD owners that want to move to Blu-ray but still wants to view their HDDVD library with one player. Samsung has bowed out of that market leaving LG. So their faithfulness is only $$$ deep. As soon as the demand drops off, they will most likely stop producing a combo player.
HDDVD will live on as a legacy product, LG is simply catering to that small market space....
