Totally out of touch with reality. Whoopie! We can all buy our combo THD discs to play on dual format players!

What's the @#$^ing point?

At over US$1000, only existing HD-DVD supporters who are not satisfied with the build of the Toshiba is going to buy these players. Forget average people getting these.

Absolutely. It's the exact same situation as the LG player.

I predict that Samsung won't sell much of these players because of the reason above. However, that means the BDA and the movie studios must work harder to end this war.

Quite right.

It's interesting that someone from Warner, the same studio that's riding the fence and prolonging the format war with THD combo discs, is putting over something like a combo player. Go figure.

But you're right: The BDA needs to really start showing and proving that they want to win this thing.
