Blu-ray/HD-DVD Combo Player Now Unlikely
Wednesday September 6, 2006
Rumors of a possible introduction of Blu-ray/HD-DVD combo players seem to have been put to rest, at least for now, as both LG and Pioneer have announced that they will continue to support Blu-ray over HD-DVD. The possibility of a Blu-ray/HD-DVD combo player would have at least brought a tentative solution to the Blu-ray/HD-DVD War, resulting in less confusion for both retailers and consumers.

LG makes one now. Whoops.
This blog entry you site was written well before LG’s announcement and reflected the state of the news at the time if you check the blog date.
