The HD VS Blu-ray war that is !

Ok, now that Blu ray is the way to go, I am looking for a Blu ray player, BUT one little problem:

I have many DVD's that are from all over, some are even PAL.
Now that doesn't make a difference because I have a region and format free DVD player, but I need to get a blu ray that can handle those babies too, I don't wanna have a blu ray player and a dvd player.
I know that LG has one that does Blu ray, HD and all regions DVD, it goes for about 700 and I know that Panasonic has one that does Blu ray and all region DVD and it goes for 800, though they also have one that does region free NSTC for under 400, but doesn't do Pal.

Thoughts and suggestions?
