Are there any disc players that can playback both formats? I tired of waiting for the loser to be officially announced.

No, no machine can play both formats.

That’s the whole problem of... you know.... two formats.

You’d have to have a machine with 2 seperate drives/trays. They are not at all easily made compatible.

Try to find the ever elusive machine that can play beta and VHS.

Yes but you pay a real premium - $1000 - more than than a Play Station3 with Blue Ray plus an XBox 360 and an Hd player.

Samsung announced the BD-UP5000 will be available in 4Q 2007, at a MSRP of $1,049.

Actually, here's your best option: LG HD DVD/BluRay DVD burner - Buy a moderately priced PC, shove that in there, hook it up to your television, good to go - add in some tuner cards and you got a full functioned DVR/DVD/BluRay/HD DVD system. But seriously, now that the drives are $300, stand alone units should be pouring in coming in the spring in the sub $400 range.

I picked up the Toshiba HD-A2 at Wal-Mart for 98 bucks.. I’m now looking for a similar deal for a blu-ray.. I’ve been browsing the black Friday ads (example: http://www.black-friday.net/ad/circuitcity-black-friday.html
) and not coming up with much...
