Video Blog: Dual-Format Blu-ray/HD DVD Vidabox Media Center
An exclusive video demo of the first Blu-ray and HD DVD player.
12.07.2006 — This whole Blu-ray/HD DVD format war is a mess. Even representatives from the two camps think so.
With custom installers seeing little interest from their clients, early adopters confused by the technology and studios cutting expectations, it’s no surprise that everyone is frustrated.
(Did I even mention the delays?)
While there have been talks about dual-format players from LG, Pioneer and Ricoh, none have materialized—until the Lux and Max Media Centers from Vidabox hit the scenes.
Vidabox came into the CE Pro offices in Framingham, Mass. to demo the Lux version of their dual-format player.

First we heard it was getting canned, then we found out it’d be available, but sans the DVD Forum’s approval, and now we hear rumors on AVS Forums that LG’s all-loving high-def player is already on sale at a certain CompUSA in Dallas, Texas.
