Interesting news. HD DVD "Insiders" have consistently downplayed the importance of 51GB disc. But, it is good "bragging rights".

And that triple layer "twin format" has a lot of potential. So far on ly one titles has it - a Japanese Anime title called "Freedom", and it was limited to only 15 GB HD DVD & 4.5 BG DVD. But it's slick. It only has the data one one side, a label on the other. It has both DVD and HD DVD layers. You stick it in a regular DVD player and it starts up the DVD. You put it in an HD DVD player and the menu asks which version you want to play. Could be key in transitioning from DVD to HD.

good point and one reason why WB is going from the combo disks on different sides. I like the combo disks because of the fact I can get my kids movies and be able to watch the HD part downstairs on the main tv or they can take it into their room and watch it on their tv. With just single format disks I cant do that.
