The reason people were saying that LG pulled the release of their BR player is because THEY SAID IT THEMSELVES! There is absolutely NOTHING that i can find on the LG site that says they will be releasing this before the fall, but in honesty, their site is horrible anyway so it could be true.
I tried to offer suggestions to the webmaster (phone & email) directly when I had issues finding firmware updates for my DVD burner they make, but they have a lot of inside politics keeping them from having a good site.
I think the best solution to the format war would be a universal player, so I hope it comes before the end of the year. If it does not, then studios that do not support BOTH formats will just lose out on money and market share. We all know that they make more money on DVD sales than in the theaters so it is their own throats that will be cut if they don't support BOTH formats.
A universal player will let the "better" format win eventually, so it would be a good thing for this to happen IMO.
