Blu-Ray, HD DVD, Hybrid Players and Total HD

It is confusing times for consumers looking to buy a new player for next-gen discs, as the war between HD DVD and Blu-Ray rages on. However, some companies are playing it safe by not choosing sides, leading to many great announcements for 2007. LG is announcing their release of hybrid next-gen players while Warner Brothers is announcing their plans to release the first hybrid movie discs, known as TotalHD.

All these developments attempt to eliminate the fear of obsolescence that has been turning away many potential early adopters, stalling the widespread adoption of high-definition, and showing poor sales for next-gen products.

Details on LG's hybrid players as well as the availability of Warner Bro.'s hybrid movie discs will remain a mystery until their full reveal at the upcoming CES.
