■LG: No go on combo of Blu-ray, HD DVD（CNET）

The dream of many gadget kooks these days--a box that can play both Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD movies--may come some day, but it doesn't appear likely in the near future.

Earlier in the year, Korean electronics giant LG indicated it was considering such a product, but now says it doesn't have such a device on its current road map. Other major electronics makers had already decided to pursue single-format players for now, so LG's indicated direction gave hope to some analysts that the format war might be bridged this year.
