    “Pioneer to release Dual format HD-DVD / Blu-Ray Writer”

    So now if I can have both formats in one burner I can definitely have both in one player. Ergo I don’t have to choose anymore and I can save my money buying into one format or the other. That war was kinda stupid from the get-go, wasn’t it …. 🙂

    Right- but it would have been a draw too had a Beta/VHS hybrid player been defacto. This way the corporations fight each other while us consumers sit safely on the sidelines and enjoy the show.

    Yesterday Pioneer stated that they have NO plans to produce such a drive in a near future. They claimed to have been misunderstood and misinterpreted.
