Format wars suck.

I think we are going to end up with both formats and dual players making it take even longer to become fully adopted.

Hell not enough people even have HDTV, been telling all sorts of people about planet earth on Disc HD and no one fricking has it...]]>Apr 13th 2007 4:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/
Are you sure thats not 06?

05 seems a little early to me.]]>Apr 13th 2007 4:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/
A: Buy Combo drive.
B: Buy disk formats.
...
C: Format war gets won.

If the format war is ever won. New drives will always be single format so new players won't play half your disks.

Buy a combo drive and rent HD disks until the war is over.]]>Apr 13th 2007 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/
DVD-A and SACD are both fledgling formats, mainly due to the fact that music downloads have become much more popular than better sound quality... which lead to a very small amount of software in either format. Neither HD-DVD and BluRay seem to be lacking in software, so as player prices drop and formats converge into one the consumer will win out because which format won't matter. Then if one or the other dies, it won't affect the consumer at all.]]>Apr 13th 2007 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/
I doubt they will make it to burn every sigle disk media. (i.e. CD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-RAM, DVD+R etc etc)]]>Apr 13th 2007 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/Apr 13th 2007 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/Full Blu-ray support, including BD-J, and 1080p24 output.
HDMI 1.3 (adds Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD...ooooh yeaaah!!!!)

Can't wait for the review on this and hopefully there will be more Blu-ray and HD DVD combo players coming out soon.]]>Apr 13th 2007 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/May 18th 2007 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/12/samsung-bd-up5000-dual-format-blu-ray-hd-dvd-combo-player-on-the/
