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? More »

Sizemodo: LG BH100 Super Multi Blue Actually Smaller Than Standalones

How is this possible? How does LG's Blu-ray/HD DVD player end up being smaller than the cheapest HD DVD and Blu-ray player? Apparently by skimping on the HD features, though we don't imagine that'd add any noticible size to the device. More »

First Review: LG BH100 Hybrid Blu-Ray/HD-DVD Player (Verdict: Format War Still Blazing)
