Samsung will release an inexpensive HD DVD / Blu-ray player

Even at the dawn of the confrontation between Blu-ray and HD DVD formats, it was extremely clear how all this will end sooner or later: the advent of universal players and recorders that can work equally well with any HD discs. However, marketing - a thing, as you know, is harmful, because the release of the relevant devices was somewhat delayed. And now, the well-known South Korean company Samsung announced the date of the appearance of the universal HD DVD / Blu-ray player.



According to the Samsung representative who spoke at the IFA conference in Germany, the hybrid player in Europe will be available in October-November. But, alas, not this year, but only the next. As for the cost of the device, there is no official data on this subject, however, according to some rumors, the price will be set in the area of? 550. This is quite a bit, given the cost of modern HD-players and, in particular, the LG hybrid player, for the possession of which will have to part with almost 1,500 euros.
