HD DVD / BLU RAY support with BEO 4

2 replies
I have the beosytem 3 and beo4 remote. I am trying to decide which hidef dvd player to get. Would like to hear back from members which ones can be FULLY controlled by the beo 4 remote. I know that the PS3 cannot. I am leaning towards the new Samsung combi player. Are the current Samsung blu ray players fully complatible with the beo4  ? What about the panasonic pioneers etc? 
With my Beosystem 1 and Avant, I have perfect control of the Toshiba HD DVD player with my Beo4. At $99.00 USD, it's very little investment for great HD. I, too, have considered the forthcoming Samsung combo player, but I think the price will be outrageous. I also have a PS3, but I really think that HD DVD is worth considering since it's broken far below the $200 mark to become accessible to the mainstream shoppers. I would certainly wait a few months if you're considering BD. If BD wants to compete against HD DVD, it will really have to cut its price.
