I got this unit when the HDDVD vs Blu-ray war just finished. Reason I did was because I knew I was about to find some HD-DVD's for REAL cheap now. You can still get awesome deals ($3 and up) if you shop around and still get that great picture quality. So this player offers up conversion on DVDs, HDDVD and Blu-ray all in one??? NO BRAINIER! Now something new to the mix now is that now you have to periodically UPDATE your firmware. What does that mean? You are upgrading the software the unit is using, much like updating the software in you computer to run the newer stuff. Now some players make this easy to do (via USB port) and others make it hard (Ethernet port only). Fortunately this unit falls under the easy category. Go to the web site http://us.lgservice.com and get the newest firmware, save it on your USB portable card and plug it into the front port, follow updating instructions as provided on the web page with the updates and you are golden. These firmware updates are KEY TO HAVE A ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE watching these blu-rays as they fix sound/picture/compatibility issues that occur every time they add more features to these blu-rays (Blu-ray Live and U-control are the biggest offenders of BLu-ray player lock ups out these). Bottom Line is I have been VERY happy with the unit and the recent upgrade to the firmware addressed alot of the issues plaging the unit. The price is steep but look at it this way, it is almost $200-$300 for a new blu-ray player, yes HDDVD is dead but there are thousands of those movies out these for BARGIN prices and they ARE HD format, enjoy the benifits of them loosing the war!!! and then the up converter of your DVDs. I also recommend if you have any questions or need help with any feature of this unit check out the web page: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1009104 Buy LG BH200 Super Blu Blu-Ray HD DVD Combo Player!
