LG announce they will continue with HD-DVD

Strange move

Why is this strange. It is a smart move, LG will capture the market for all the HD DVD supporters. Yes there will be a market for the dual players very much so. Even though I was looking at the PS3, I really want a dual player so I can have one unit, that plays both.

Thats great news. I think it will show that we will always have someone watching HD-DVD's back.

Yippie!!!

I will be saving up to buy a LG BH200 Dual Player. I have 97 HD DVD's and all be able to enjoy both formats and have all the Ethernet capabilities as the PS3.

Wow, I'm kinda shocked. I knew they produced drives for them, but wow, could they take over HD DVD? Probably not, now that studios will soon drop HD DVD...

Well has Universal said they are going to totally drop HD DVD? Same with Paramount, did these companies say that they are totally dropping HD DVD?

Glad to hear LG is doing this :]

Let's just hope they find a way to make a dual format player without all the bugs :]

Cheers all...

This is good news. I will definitley be looking for a reliable dual player, if its afforable.

Well to sum this one up, this is some good news for the millions of people who bought into HD DVD. And a very wise move for LG.

... until the stockholders get wind of it.
