I'm rather curious why someone like Denon hasn't even announced that they're working on a truly universal player yet. This "war" is so easily solved with a machine that'll play both discs. I know LG has one, but it's $1500 and won't play cd's. So that's just idiocy.

I know I have read that some manufactureres are working on a universal player but are reluctant to sell them due to huge costs for the BR components and licensing to Sony. I seem to remember the BR players out there are actually sold at a loss right now.

Be careful if you are looking at Samsung. They’ve been pretty buggy.
Denon is coming out with a player, but I think it is a BR player and not combo.
I just picked up the Panasonic BD 30k. Nice little player. It does not, and will not have internal decoding though. It’s great for folks with HDMI 1.3 audio processors that will decode the HD bitstream formats, but not worth a darn for those who don’t.
I’d like to see Oppo come out with a universal player.

Sweet! I just picked up two copies of Scooby-Doo. That way I'll have a back-up when the first wears out.
I plan on watching it that much.

Charles, I admit, I've reconsidered. . .
I'm getting four copies.
