This will never catch on. The reason is obvious - HDDVD is doomed to fail aginst Blu ray and even if that were not an issue, who'd want to be limited to just 2 hours of HDDVD content writing on a player which costs almost $900?
It's certainly not obvious to me that HD DVD is doomed to fail--particularly when you consider lower hardware prices, PiP, and Internet-connected extras. When it's time for you to upgrade to Blu-Ray 1.1...and then Blu-Ray 2.0, maybe you'll consider spending significantly less and buying into a format with a completed specification.

Nice try, though, Dick.
BRD storage maybe, but BRD for movies ain't doing so well and I'd real in that free swinging polo stick.
