Can only find stuff regarding their US models (most scores are 3/5) but IMHO the HD-DVD bit is more than likely a mistake.

Would be interested to see how WHSAV would score it but think it may be in a simular boat to the BUSH players that were out not too long ago.

Here in Norway, where it's notoriously expensive, one can get a "United" brand BluRay player for the princely sum of £77. I can't see it being too many months before we see a £50 unit, so it can't be too far away in the UK too.

Why would you even contemplate getting a player that is un-tested and unheard of, frankly? That is really odd considering you are here on this forum!

Spend an extra £29.95 and get a Sony BDPS350 from Richer sounds, or better, a Panasonic DMP-BD35 at an extra £43.95. Both are excellent 5 star products which you will be proud to own.

I'm with EvilWolf on this one.
Better stick with the tried & trusted names, I went for the Sony 350.
I'm guessing that Asda are mixing up HD-DVD with HD audio perhaps?

The only dual format I've ever come across is an LG model, still on sale in Norway for some reason, with a not so reasonable price tag of £500.
No BD live facility either, so it's a bit of a dead duck unless you can source really cheap HD films somewhere . . . .
