I've said all along that there be no universal players this year, if ever.

Go to www.dvdboxoffice.com and you will find the LG bd-790 with an 6-27-06 available date.

So much for LG not making BD players. So much for LG making some "universal" player, right?

All as expected.

Direct link: LG BD-790

If you do the currency exchange, you're still looking at a grand or more for this player.

I'm sorry, but who the hell is going to pay a grand plus for an LG player?

I wish the Samsung and LG players were priced competitively at least with the $800 Toshiba player because these three companies are all about the same from where I sit: Second rate.

You have the WAY overpriced $1500 Panasonic player...the days of the RP82 and such are long since past them. Who's honestly going to pay $1500 for Panasonic in the here and now?

I wish the BDA would have something at that entry level besides counting on the PS3 videogame console all the way in November to cover that $500 or so tier.
