"FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics Co. will bring out a DVD machine next year capable of playing both Blu-ray and HD DVD if backers of the rival standards fail to agree on a unified format, says a newspaper."
Samsung's head of consumer electronics, Choi Gee-sung, told the Financial Times Deutschland: "We would welcome a unified standard but if this doesn't come, which looks likely, we'll bring a unified solution to market."
Fortunately and unfortunately for consumers this player will be a reality. Good because you won't have to buy two players. Bad because it's bullsh*t we have to deal with two formats. Beta Max and VHS anyone?
The public is already confused with Hi-Def as it is, much less having to choose between two Hi-Def optical formats next year.
