Is this the format war killer we've all been waiting for? We're concerned that this player won't be compatible with HD DVD's HDi authoring and interactivity, which could potentially lead to disc compatibility issues, but beyond that we're very anxious to see and hear this player and put it through its paces with both next-gen formats. The Super Multi Blue is also a trend setter in being the first next-gen player capable of decoding DTS-HD Master Audio. Due in stores in February of 2007.
