Its mostly a PR move

We probably won't see many or any movies on a 51 Gig HD DVD for a long time, if ever. They will play on all gear, after a FW update. Pewrsonally I don't care. They may also be as difficult to make as BD-50s.
What's far more important, is the TL HD DVD/DVD discs. If the HD DVD studios really want HD to get ahead, and that a big if, what they will need to do is stop putting out DVDs, and put out only HD DVD/DVD hybrids. They are doing that with the Star Trek box, but if they do it with current releases, they will have their "Trojan Horse", with millions of software buyers out there.

EDIT: It may also be a way to try to woo Disney to go neutral.
