"A single-sided triple-layer HD DVD/DVD hybrid (combi) disc, the DVD layer of which would be playable by legacy DVD players, is expected to be approved before the year end."

wtf ru talking about.. lol single sided triple layer blu-ray is 75GB

I wish someone would win this format war already, so I can buy either one of them.hojobojo

Too bad the 360 doesn't use them to play games.

and too bad hes lying and its only a triple layer disc triplelayer blu-ray is 75GB...

wont that defeat the HDDVD edge on being cheaper to produce if it's tripled layer? RedMarzBoy

Like when Toshiba was working on the DVD and Sony and Phillips was working on a competitor, Sony and Phillips eventually decided to join up with Toshiba and ditch their format. But this time Toshiba should ditch theirs (HDDVD).

So what GAMES will you be playing on that 51GB HD-DVD disk on your xbox360?lol

**leaves pointless thread**

Note: the Blueray disk used in the PS3 that PS3 owners have is actually used for playing games. I thought this was old news, the space on HD-DVDs can't be used to make games for xbox360.

It's triple layer, not single layer. And blu-ray has a six layered 200GB prototype under review by DBA.

They'll never see the light of day. they're having enough problems with single and dual-layer discs. triple layer BDs and greater are almost just to say they can be theoretically done.

lol sweet

im still waiting for HVD to blow every other format out of the waterredmetal86

Without movie studios and manufacturers support, there won't be software for it, so it won't matter, no matter how technicaly advanced the format is. In 10 years, when 3D holographic video catches on and massive terabyte storage is needed, they will evaluate the next format and then HVD might get support and go mainstream.

Don't know much about these technologies, but if it can be played on a standard HD-DVD player then I'm sure it has already won.neveryoumind244

it cant, its triple layered its a lie read the artical for yourself

You might be waiting a long time...

my take is that you posted this in the wrong forum and the topic will be locked shortly

Too bad the 360 doesn't use them to play games.

Bread_or_Decide

Yeah...too bad...

Blu-ray is almost or done already with their 100 gig single layers....

But here's the cool thing.

360 uses DVD9 not HD-DVD....

PS3 only can read 50 gig Blu-ray discs...not 100 gigs...

SO why should anyone in this forum care or even be told?

That would'nt help them in anyway because all they would mainly use it is for freaking movies. Microsoft will not install a brand new dvd drives on their Xbox 360 to soppurt the 51 GB DVD.. if they do this will jack up their system prices like over $100... and its something there are not going to do because their focused on dropping there prices as much as possible because the sales have slowed down.

I hope that Blu-Ray wins cause HD-DVD seems kind of half-***ed if you know what I mean. Like come on, they can't even think of an original name. They just stick HD on top of DVD.AIH_PSP

I hope thatWii wins cause PS3 seems kind of half-***ed if you know what I mean. Like come on, they can't even think of an original name. They just stick3next to the PS.

See how redicules your remark was?!

PS3 can only use 50gb discs.

i hope you plan on waiting 2-3 generations from now.

I may not have a PS3 however, I still hope Blue Ray will stay ontop for the future format. HDDVD is just less appealing.-R3Volation

Why? They're both just disk formats, why anyone cares which one wins is beyond me.

I wish someone would win this format war already, so I can buy either one of them.hojobojo

exactly.. also I wish HD DVD burners or Blu-Ray DVD burners would go down in price too
