Samsung Duo-player

[WriteSimply]

The press release is very interesting.

"We welcome Samsung's Duo HD player as another solution in the marketplace that will help reduce consumer confusion and buyer hesitancy towards HD media," said Ron Sanders, President of Warner Home Video. "This is an innovative product that can move us closer to mainstream consumer adoption of HD technologies."

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.

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.
