LG Launches BH200 Super Blu Player - supports HDi!

I guess LG couldn't leave Samsung's challenge unanswered. They're going to release a new dual-format high-def player in mid-October. Unlike the BH100, the BH200 supports HDi interactivity. It sounds like they've updated BD-Java as well.

It's still too expensive. I can't believe they didn't drop the price of the drive to say $700.. especially when they're selling their second-gen PC drives at half the price of the first-gen ones.

LG Electronics, the first company to introduce a dual-format high-definition disc player, today unveiled its second-generation LG Super Blu(TM) Player (model BH200). Sporting both formats' logos, LG's new high-def player is capable of Blu-ray disc and HD DVD playback with advanced BD-Java and HDi interactivity, enabling consumers to choose from the widest variety of high-def content regardless of disc format.
On display for the first time at the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) EXPO 2007 (booth #720), LG's Super Blu Player will be available to U.S. consumers and custom installers in mid-October at a suggested retail price of $999.
