According to a report over at CE Pro, looks like LG put out a memo indicating the desire to produce a combination or dual format HD-DVD/Blu-ray player. They also say that they are dropping the Blu-ray, 1080p, BD199 from the spring release lineup that they displayed at this years CES.

The memo also informs dealers that the company will be removing the 71SA1D and 62SA1D LCoS 1080p Micro Display Projection televisions due to "certain part procurement issues." "To avoid negatively impacting dealer assortment and business planning, we are removing these models from our line-up at this time," the memo says. "We will make an announcement if and when these models become available in the future." |
You can take a look at the player that never was if you like, among other products, by visiting the CES report from Las Vegas, given by the Blu-ray Disc Association here. Interestingly, LG just signed a licensing sharing agreement with HD-DVD backer Toshiba, just a few weeks ago.

lg is famous for the super multi format drives (i think they even registered name "super multi")
it would be ultra multi for their next optical burners....hopefully
According to MPAA, we are not having an experience comparable to a full blown cinema on whatever home equipments we could use, including HDTV. 
Good. They just got themselves a roomy market niche. Who now will want to buy a player that only supports one of two formats? Thats a good examle of how the consumer can tell the industry what to do and what not to. Next thing you know i will start buying movies that first drop AACS 
how can LG violate that rule?
