HP is joining up with LG and Samsung on the neutral ground of dual-format players. While many companies still seem to think that consumers are dumb enough to pick sides at this point in the asinine format war, the smart money is on letting the companies deal with the mess and giving consumers a player that can handle either disc.

Yep, HP is sticking a dual-format drive in a couple of its Pavilion desktop computers. This is a shift in policy for the company, who started out being firmly on the HD DVD side of things. Way to side with the consumers, HP. Hopefully more companies will soon follow suit so we can put this silly format war behind us. — Adam Frucci
