Ugh!!! Sickening!

Isn't LG building another combo player too?

**Scuba Diver** · **11-30-07, 12:30 PM**

Well, to be honest I wasn't going to buy one until then anyway. Now, I have a better excuse to leave the money in my pocket until after X-mas.

I wonder will it be delayed again and why the delay? I've not been able to find any news on it yet.

Not sure on the LG model.

Looks like this has been delayed yet again until February 1, 2008.

However, I have read reports that some have been successful at ordering these through Best Buy Business for $799 less 10% discount using the coupon code SURVSAVE.

I see that the Samsung is in stock at Best Buy and Circuit City stores.

There may be some stores that have them locally, but they are all sold out online and there are none available in any of our local stores here.

I ordered one through BBB, but not sure if I'll actually get one or not.

Good luck.....

Just wondering did you end up getting one?

Why is a combo player better than a PS3 and a HDDVD player (quite cheap) for the same price?

Get great video, play cool games, and when one format wins the war, upgrade that player to a high performance model and keep the other for occasional obsolete discs?

I already have a good upsampling DVD player Oppo 981, plays DVD and SACD and DVD-A, also HDCD, CD and MP3. Can't see a high-def player replacing this.

I haven't decided yet: combo or twins?

P.S. was there a big market for VHS/Beta combo players?

Combo player have a big advantage : one single ThruHD analog 5.1 audio output and one single HDMI video output. Much easy to hook up on your system and get free space on your rack !

**Scuba Diver** · **01-09-08, 02:29 PM**

Of course if the equipment is on a rack that is only 1 or 2 extra cables.

I have watched movies on the PS3 it works just fine. As an upscaler it also does a fine job. If you are a gamer then I don't see anything wrong with a setup that consists of two players.

For me I rent all my movies from BlockBuster and they only carry BluRay. It was a no brainier for me to pick the format they carry. As for waiting till the format war is over. Well..... Hope you aren't holding your breath.
