I'm not ready to give up 1 months rent just to buy a Hi-Def disc player.

I'm content with waiting until one or both of these formats is dead... I'll probably be making double what I am now by the time that time comes around, and I should be able to afford it.

@Type-E: You can get a Samsung BD-P1200 for $450 and an HD-A2 for $250, thus costing you $300 less. I don't really see that as "around the same price."

@iHeartApple: Of course I would prefer to have one player vs 2 players. I am saying that it's the same price as buying 2 players because normally, combo drives save you money, but in this case, it hasn't. I may in the future.

However, PS3 + hd-dvd player > this combo drive
because of gaming + hd playing.

Few people will be buying these combo players until the prices goes way down, but maybe by then there will be 1 winner. Who knows? Right now I am really enjoying my xbox hd dvd player.

Having a single player is good to streamline your setup and save space.

What sucks, of course, is if the unit dies. With two separate players, you at least have the option to go with the other format for the time being. It also makes upgrading A LOT easier if you're interested in a new player for one format, but not so interested in the other.

It's a tradeoff either way.

@Type-E: Personally Id rather have a single player such as the one above but Im still not ready to drop $999 on it. I'll go to $650 for a hybrid player (maybe 7) but thats it.

around the same price of buying 2 individual players.
