I really wish these advertisers would get it right,J and R in NYC has this Sony as a Blu-Ray / HD DVD player. My 17 year old daughter knows that Sony NEVER made an HD DVD player,so why wouldn't these guys catch this glaring error??

No where on the product page and/or features list does it say that it actually plays HD DVDs. It's listed in the HDDVD/BluRay section of their website simply because it's in that category of full HD players.

Right above the unit on the link that I gave it said this:

Type of DVD Unit: Blu-ray and HD DVD Player

If a person was not savvy in Blu-Ray speak ,he would seek this out and be disappointed,and look like a jerk to boot after referring this ad the the salesperson. There are more of these types that I'd like to admit...:)
