Samsung Duo HD player

Samsung will be launching its Duo HD player (also known as the BD-UP5000) in the US this December in order to render the so-called format war irrelevant. This means you will be able to play nice with both HD DVD and Blu-ray titles in full HD quality. Word has it that Warner Brothers will be releasing a movie title that supports both formats sometime in the same month as well, broadening the appeal of high definition video to more people. No word on pricing though.
