Fine, BluRay Wins. Any good units that play BR and DVD?
Now that the high-def disc war is won by Sony, I want to jump into the user market ... hopefully before player prices skyrocket.


But now it occurs to me why I'm uber-baffled at the winning format. Correct me if I'm wrong, but would an HD DVD player have been able to play both HD and regular DVD???

So if I want a single unit that plays both Blu Ray and DVD, I have to get a clunky "combo" unit ... sorta like the giant monster I had that played laserdiscs and DVDs then that transition happened.



Sigh.


Can anyone recommend a good, hopefully affordable, combination low-def / high def player that can play newfangled BluRay and old-fashioned DVD?
