I don't know if this has been covered here or not, but I got the LG Super Multi Blu Ray player recently and here are my thoughts:

Lets review what it CANNOT do

1. Other than play an HD DVD, you cannot access anything else, including the menu and features. I knew that going in, but I already had an HD DVD player so that didn't really matter to me.

2. 1080P - According to their website, it supports 1080P on combatible TV's. Now to the average person, you would think they meant that your TV had to support 1080P in order to get it. WRONG. From my research online from other owners who called LG, it only supports it on LG TV's. I have a 62" Toshiba and I can only get 1080i. Thanks *******s.

3. Not all Blu Ray Movies will work on this! Yes you heard me correct. LG Tech Support confirmed this with me last night when I called the support line because 2 different copies of Big Fish would not play. They said that movie isnt on the list. I asked which list. They said the list of movies that are uncompatible. They said its because how the movie was formatted. I said its a BluRay movie, and this is a $1200 BluRay player, how can you tell me all movies wont work? They also said Casino Royale was on that list, but I have that one and it works fine.

Someone needs to start a class action lawsuit against these bastards. As it is, mine is hitting ebay today and I will get a PS3.
