    WSJ Pulp Bite: Mossberg and the New War to End the HD Format War

    Walt Mossberg, the WSJ's master chief of gadgetdom, reviews LG's hybrid HD disc BH100 Super Voltron Blue (or whatever). His take is like our take. Most interestingly, Mossberg tangentially points out a very funny thing: The LG is flawed because it won't play HD-DVD interactive content. But LG won't necessarily release a perfect successor because the cominghybrid HD-DVD/Blu-Ray discs threaten its sales. Come again?

    To be clear, there's now officiallya format war between the two solutions to the format war. Hilarious. Even The Onion couldn't make up a better joke. Mossy's video review post jump.
