Maxim sums up combo players

[nhaase]

I just got the July issue of Maxim in the mail. Megan Fox of Transformers is on the cover, "The Re-birth of Sexy" indeed! On pg. 54 they review certain electronic products which have two roles. This includes the LG combo player. Here is what Maxim had to say about its two roles:

HD DVD:
Future-proof with the only player available that can handle both formats. Just one caveat: It can't access all the nifty interactive menu functions on HD DVD discs.

Blu-ray:
If Sony wins the format war, you're set. Of course, that much cash could have bought a PS3 with Blu-ray built-in, an Xbox 360 with its add-on HD DVD drive, and a life.

That last sentence sums it all up. It even shows the advantage of PS3 having it built-in.
