Built in Blu-ray Player in LCD TV's?

Now Sony is hoping to “increase the global market share of its BD products from 20-percent currently to 50-percent by the end of 2008,” and with HD DVD out of the way, it leaves only to educate and intise the DVD market. One of the ways Sony is looking to do this is hinted by Ryoji Chubachi who states Sony is looking to offer LCD’s with “BD recording functionality.”

I will never buy one of these tvs. I bought a TV/VCR combo back in the early 90's when I was in elementary school with money I made from cutting grass, LOL. Anyway, about 6 months after I bought it the VCR went out and it was pointless and I had to go buy a new VCR. Point being. I'd much rather buy these two items separately...

Sounds cool but expensive!

Just as a note: the new Tesco catalog that just came out has HD-DVD players in it!
