Although LG's Super Multi Blue standalone hybrid player
snuck into a few CompUSA's before the street date and
subsequently landed in several highly frequented big box retail locations, the firm is hoping to broaden the reach of its peace making device by getting it to more locales. The
BH100 will reportedly ship en masse to the "800-plus network of US
Best Buy stores" this June, and "at the same time, the player will spread to significantly more
Circuit City outlets" than it's currently in. The company noted that as production hurdles have been overcome, it's growing easier to get these out to lesser-known stores, e-tailers, and a wider range of CCs and BBs, but interestingly, it was stated that there were "no announcements yet regarding a second-generation Super Multi Blue unit that might
beef up its
HD DVD capabilities."
