LG's Super Multi Blue Player (BH100)

You've probably already heard about LG's dual-format player that can handle both HD DVD and Blu-Ray. Well after having gone from rumour to unveiling at CES only last week, the Super Multi Blue Player (BH100) is now apparently in US shops already!

No word on a UK release yet but for anyone concerned about jumping off the fence and into either camp, this provides you with a 'third way'.

It's the first next-generation video device to play both high-definition disc formats and with Warner Bros releasing hybrid dual-format discs as well, together they could provide you with an insurance policy should one of the formats actually win this ridiculous war.

I'm certainly not ready to commit to either format yet and I'm sure many people feel the same way, so I welcome products like this and hope this is a trend that other manufacturers and studios will follow.
