If that's the case, it could be a problem. Mainly, however, I am concerned with playback problems. They have to make sure there will be ZERO playback issues or this could really bite HD DVD in the ass big time.
Very true, the pricing and playback issues are key. Hopefully they won't be (much of) an obstacle/problem. I like the integration and market seeding potential so I hope they do it right and it works. The twin format discs will be a big help and eventually it could get to be where the SD portion is regarded as merely a 'special feature'.

Having DVD and HD DVD on the same side (pun not intended) is a big plus in this format war, IMO.
