You think today's HD DVD players will handle triple or quadruple layer HD DVDs ?

I doubt it. They'd probably have to do a spec rewrite and hardware redesign. I don't think it's in the cards. They didn't plan for anything more than 30G for the movie application.

Blu-Ray can play the same game (e.g. 200G Blu-Rays anyone ?)

HD DVD also has a tighter restriction on audio/video bitrate which I strongly suspect has already compromised PQ/SQ on certain HD DVD movies.
