The LG Super Multi Blue dual format player is $600 at Amazon.com. I must warn you about this player. LG wasn't able to get the player cleared by the DVD forum, and as such it does not have the HD DVD logo on it, and cannot play any HD DVD iHD interactive features. It can only decode the video itself, and nothing else.
I'm not sure how much the Samsung dual-format player costs. I think they are waiting for BD-Java 1.1 before releasing it.
