LG BH200 HD-DVD / Blu-ray Combo Player now available

LG has finally announced that its new BH200 HD-DVD / Blu-ray combo player is now available for the price of $999.

In addition to playing both HD formats, the player also has the somewhat notable distinction of being the first player to support Blu-ray profile 1.1, although you'll still have to wait a while to take advantage of that particular feature. Otherwise, you'll get full 1080p support (including upscaling of DVDs), HDMI v1.3, component and composite video outputs, digital optical and analog audio outputs, and a LAN port, not to mention a USB port on the front for impromptu slide shows or music playback.
