I've seen a HD-DVD/Blu-ray/DVD a.k.a 3-in-1 player once. I think it was called BH100. I have yet to see a Blu-ray/HD-DVD only player though.



Yeah, the problem with the LG BH100 is that you cannot play all of the extra content and the interactive feature on HD-DVD discs (known as HDi), only the movie portion of the HD-DVD is playable. However, Samsung as announced that they will release a combo player by Christmas, the BD-UP5000, which will be able to fully utilize all of the features on all formats, including Blu-Ray and HD-DVD.
