It doesn't support most HD-DVD features, just playback. It's a good first step, but it's not the holy grail people have been searching for.

The player includes both red and blue laser diodes, which enables it to read all three disc formats. However, while users can take advantage of all the interactive features included on Blu-ray discs, it is currently limited to simply playing HD DVDs without their interactive functions, Ahn said.
that's too bad, but it wouldn't be a deal killer for me. like you said, it's a good first step. i don't know much about LG's reputation in this area so it will be interesting to see what people think when this deck hits the street.
Turns out LG cannot bring this to market with the blessing of the DVD consortium (which would mean they couldn't advertise or even list that it had HD-DVD compatibility).And no word yet on a lawsuit from Sony, either.
