Samsung Announces New Blu-ray/HD DVD Combo Player


Samsung has revealed the BD-UP5500 Blu-ray/HD DVD player combo player at CES - despite the apparent upcoming demise of the HD DVD format that some are proclaiming. Standard Blu-ray Profile 1.1 compliance and full BD-Java and HDi support are featured. Release date is expected to be sometime in the second-half of 2008.

Update: The player is to carry an MSRP of $599 - not bad for a combo player.
