As the industry has once again managed to get itself into a right mess over formats, does anyone know if any duel format players are around the corner? Any links etc would be great thanks.
Samsung did say that they were working on one, but its still early days! Both formats havent even really come out yet. It will take at least a year once both Blu Ray and HD DVD are officially out.
LG said they will make one.

If they're not too expensive I may get a dual-format one to be on the safe side :)

A combined player is bound to happen. It happened with DVD/laserdisc, then DVD-A/SACD so HD-DVD and BD will also happen.
However don't expect to see a combined player in 2006. I think it is just too early. The chipsets and optics are simply not ready yet so I would expect to see a player around Summer 2007.
