LG drops plans to release dual-format player?
LG, the Korean manufacturer, said that it had dropped plans to launch a dual-format DVD player that would be compatible with both Sony’s Blu-ray and Toshiba’s HD-DVD discs.
The announcement is confusing as LG had announced last March that it had dropped plans to produce a Blu-ray-only player.
However, at an electronics conference in New York on Monday, Bob Perry, VP of LG sales, said: “LG remains part of the Blu-ray camp and will make a product announcement later in the year.”
Who knows what other confusion will enter the HD DVD/Blu-ray arena?

Well, it looks like HD-DVD is appearing to be better than Blu-ray, for the moment anyway.
We will have to see which format begins to dominate the market. My money is on Blu-ray.
