Earlier this week, LG Electronics sent out a press release, announcing that their Super Multi Blue Player is available at retail stores in the US. For those that have been living in a cave for the past month, the BH100 is the first player on the market with the capability to play titles in both Blu-ray and HD DVD formats.
LG Electronics today confirmed that U.S. consumers can now purchase the industry's first dual- format high-definition (HD) disc player at U.S. retailers.
Unveiled less than a month ago at the 2007 International CES(R), the LG "Super Multi Blue" Player (model BH100) is now available at national retail stores, such as Best Buy, Circuit City and CompUSA, as well as regional retailers and local dealers.
With LG Electronics' Super Multi Blue Player, consumers now have the convenience and flexibility of playing both Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD high- definition content. The unit blends both technologies for a consumer-focused solution to address the challenges and consumer confusion of the current HD disc format war.
The BH100 currently goes for about $1199. If you'd like to read more, LG's entire press release can be found here.
