High Definition Dvd?

Samsung announced plans to launch a hi-def player that can handle both Blu-ray and HD DVD. Samsung says that the company will debut prototype dual-format players at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this January. If Samsung's machine proves feasible a format war may not be the headache feared. It's unlikely consumers will buy two machines just so they can watch high definition content. Some studios are going to release films in both Blu-ray and HD. It seems Toshiba's goal of a 1000$ machine by Christmas has been delayed. Toshiba is a major proponant of HD DVD, while Sony is the big Blu-ray backer. Both are saying product may debut for consumers in early 2006.
A major difference this go around, verses DVD when it came out, is that all Blu and HD machines will record as well as play.

I heard a couple of days ago the Blue Ray (Sony) players will not play standard DVD's but, the HD DVD players will. Other than that I haven't heard much but, on the other hand I am not really listening.

Check out the new high def. DVD player from Neodigits.com and yes it's available.

I checked out the Neodigits player and it is not a real HiDef player. It is an upsampling machine although it looks interesting.

Checked out Neodigits and they have a unit that upscales to HD. Not a true HD DVD Player. The Best Buy guy was right, they have upscaling units for sale not the real deal.
