But oscar, neither of us know what design parameters are achievable.

>>> "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." <<<
HD-DVD applications are constantly evolving; system upgrades are pretty much downloadable as well.

'Suspect', okay, suspicion is a reasonable response, but so far I've seen no evidence of compromised source material on my 1080P Sammy, much less heard it from any reliable non-biased industry source. Have you made any A/B comparisons of Blu-ray/HD-DVD performance, oscar?
As you know, I have no dog in this hunt save for my desire to own high resolution copies of my favorite films. The HD format which delivers my favorite films will remain my 'drug' of choice until a reasonably priced multi-format player enters the market and expands my options further.
