I bet when they posed the question about paying $5.00 more for a combo disc those people were thinking about $5.00 more than SD DVD, not HD DVD prices + $5.00.

I am hoping that the cost of the TWIN discs will not be prohibitive since there is no need to stamp another side. If that happens, it is a whole new ballgame.

The combo (or maybe the TWIN) discs are good for my family since we have about 8 SD DVD players and only TWO HD DVD players. It allows a single movie purchase that can play anywhere. I am less likely to buy the Combos since they already charge a $5.00 premium for new releases and when you add the $5.00 combo premium it just raises the price $10.00 over the catalog titles.

I agree that the combos priced as they have been is sending a lot of dual format owners to by the BD version to save the money, so pricing is the key.
