My father told me that his brother (who works a bust buy) said that Sony was releasing a video player that can play both, Blu-Ray and HD DVDs. Who knows where my uncle herd it from so I was wondering if there was any truth to this.

Here’s a link to that $600, second-gen, Samsung Dual-Format HD-Disc player: http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/S…
And everyone’s telling you right. Sony has no current plans for an HD-DVD player. The format war is over. Blu-ray won.
OMG you can’t even spell right, what’s up with that?
I don’t think what your brother told you is true.
I suspect he said Sony, but meant Samsung (who have a dual format player and have just announced a 2nd generation model).
Sony is opposed to all things HD DVD … I can’t imagine them selling a dual format player.
I would have to say no. Sony invented Blu-Ray so there would be no point to them investing any time and money into a format that they are competing with.
It would be pointless now. Last week Warner Bros. announced that they would be supporting Bluray only. This week the two remaining HD-DVD exclusive studios both said they are switching to Bluray. HD-DVD is certain to fail now.
I have heard nothing about a Sony dual player any way, but Samsung has one they are getting ready to release. I wonder if they’ll scrap the idea now?
Bluray all the way. The clear winner.
