DEC. 11 | FROM TWICE: ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J.—LG Electronics is now shipping its second-generation “Super Blu” combination HD DVD/Blu-ray Disc player.

Model BH200 ($999 suggested retail), which the company introduced at the September CEDIA Expo event, provides access to between 50% and 70% more high-def movie titles than single-format players, the company said. 

Features include compatibility with interactive extra content on both HD DVD and Blu-ray discs. In addition to supporting the full HD DVD HDi specifications, which the first-generation player did not do, the BH200 includes the BD Standard Profile and BD Profile 1.1 specs, when Blu-ray discs with the new profile become available in 2008.
