While other guys like to plonk themselves on the couch to watch the big match, I’m a lot happier watching the latest DVD releases or some random film on Sky (though that is becoming increasingly rare due to their stupid timetable).
With the current format wars I feel that the only way to possibly win is by forking out for a multiformat player of some kind. The only one I’ve come across is from LG.
LG BH-100 HD/DVD/Blu-Ray Disc Player
It looks like a pretty nice piece of kit, but I’m not sure that I am up to paying that kind of money, especially when I know that:
- Prices will drop
- Standard DVD players cost as little as 40 euro
- I don’t have any Blu Ray or HD DVD discs yet apart from some multi-format ones from the US
However I don’t know which format is going to win out in the end, so I’d almost prefer to hedge my bets.
The problem remains, however, that the only player I can find is damn expensive!
