I really hadn't heard much about the LG player. I know that the company had released a dual player and judging by your comment, I'm assuming that it is horrible. Am I correct?

You just have too much money! That's like $5000 between players and movies.

I wish I could have 2 Blu-Ray Players!

I've never bought any products from Toshiba before (even though I don't dislike the company at all), but I'm not about to start now by getting a Blu-ray player made by them. Nothing they ever made really appealed to me is all.

I would, I love Toshiba products. I've never had a single problem with any of their products. Shoot, still have a first gen Toshiba DVD player that still works perfectly. Can't say the same for other companies I've owned products from.

One little known fact that is funny in this whole war, is that Toshiba shot them self in the foot in an indirect way.

PS3's CELL processor is made in part by toshiba, with out the PS3 blu-ray may very well have lost this war, and/or prolonged it.

Even with out the CELL processor, I'm sure Sony would have still released the PS3, and assuming everything else was the same (BD vs HD-DVD), the PS3 would still have played Blu-Ray, But with out the CELL processor, the PS3 may very well have been delayed, and that could, and probably would have made a huge difference in outcome for blu-ray.

In the short term there is still a market for a dual player.
Aimed at people who already have an extensive HD collection and who already own a stand alone but want to make the move to Blu as well.

I don't forsee them coming out with any new models beyond first half 08'.
