LG BH100 pictures

Everyone's favourite HD news bringer Angry The Clown has found (or at least told us) that American electronics retailer Best Buy has now listed the LG HD DVD/Blu-ray combo player on their site. The model number is BH100 and it is replacing LG's cancelled Blu-ray-only player.

The good: it plays HD DVD and BD movies, meaning you can theoretically play just about every HD video disc released (WMV HD DVD-ROMs not included). Also, at $1200, the price isn't THAT bad, either.

The bad: the prototype pictures look butt-ugly (superficial, I know), and LG aren't one of the most trusted names in the consumer electronics world. Hopefully this dual format player will be the first of many (although I still maintain that there are currently few BD exclusive movies that interest me).
