LG Electronics made everyone at CES do a double-take when they announced a combo Blu-ray and HD DVD player, to be made available for sale soon. Well, now it’s available. It’s is called the LG “Super Multi Blue” Player (model BH100). It should now be available at stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, and CompUSA.

The player retails for $1200, if I remember correctly. That’s enough to buy both a Toshiba HD DVD player and a Sony PS3. So you have to determine what’s more important to you: saving a little space, or getting the best of both worlds. (And remember, the LG supposedly doesn’t fully support HD DVD’s iHD feature.)
