View profile »Hey everyone... did you happen to see today's Sunday advertisement from Circuit City? They've got the last available model of a combo Blu-ray/HD-DVD player on sale for just $499 (saves $300) - the LG BH200 Super-Blu player (the model that Tim Raynor recently purchased a few months ago, and highly recommends). It's $100 lower than Best Buy's price too!
If I didn't already own a PS3 and two Toshiba HD-DVD players, I'd be all over this to purchase! Think about it Eddie... for $500 you've got upconverted DVD, HD-DVD, and Blu-ray playback all in one!
Since Samsung recently dropped out of combo HD players, this model will be the LAST available to buy, before BD only players become standard. FYI - Eddie (posters5 here on the Msd Bd) has previously indicated he doesn't own a BD player, so that's why I'm recommending this excellent, capable player, since now he reviews titles from all 3 disc formats (but watches BD titles on a friend's PS3). And Eddie's got several CC locations there where he resides (in the Austin TX area). Time to spend that government rebate check!

For what it does, it's absolutely worth it.

According to Amazon, the dimensions of the LG BH200 are 10.6" x 16.9" x 2.9". That makes it smaller than either my Toshiba A35 or Panasonic BD30. Are we talking about the same player here, or were you referring to another LG?

. . . wait a tick, I still have that old player in a closet somewhere, let me go look.
Yep, it looks about the same size as my old DVD player from 97. Funny how I didn't hear a lot of complaining about size back then, but as Nigel Powers says, "it's not the size mate, it's how you use it"
Look, compared to my fathers GE VHS player from 1981, the LG BH200 IS a slim line in comparison. Man, some of you guys are so freaking bitchy! I'd hate to hear what you might wine about if you purchased a decent gaming computer! "OMG, it's a BIG tower! It's way to big for my tiny desk!" LMAO!!!

View profile »1) blu-ray is a sony media format, so i will never pay money for any blu-ray products.
2) small/thin disc players are not good purchases. due to the lack of heft, they tend to introduce a lot of jitter and noise when spinning discs at high speeds.
