Much like
Pioneer,
Samsung is
still bumming us out by
not whipping up a combo Blu-ray and HD DVD player. But good ol' Sammy is announcing its first Blu-ray player, the
BD-P1000, to be released in Europe in October 2006, with price estimates reaching €1,400. It's due to go head-to-head with Toshiba's
HD-E1 and HD-XE1, which ares due to come out the following month. Guys, can't we bury this hatchet already and just
settle this war? It's obvious that
building a hybrid player is entirely possible, and to motivate you to get on it we're officially going to sulk and go on hunger strike. Go on, try us.
