Blu-Ray cracked too?

[Quiggs]

200gig HDDVD, as far as I know, is quad layer dual side.

HD-DVD format is now LARGER capacity than BD with the latest 3-layer version. Will be interesting to see if it hits the streets before BD 50G gets off the ground. A clever piece of technical marketeering to knock down competitor advantages

Wait for all of it to settle out is bets still !!!

No at the moment it's NOT larger. You can say that after they get those triple layers or quad layers to market (and compatible players/recorders). But then again, by the time they get those to market you'll probably also have triple or quad layer Blu-Rays so it's kinda irrelevant.

Oh and I wouldn't call 51GB triple layer vs. 50GB double layer a really impressive difference in capacity.

And the production lines for 50GB BD were up and running since October or November IIRC.

Quiggs:
6 layer Blu-Ray = 200GB
quad layer HDDVD = 65 or so GB

IF they ever show up. As of now they're still vaporware without any compatible players (that we know of).

EDIT: Oh I didn't see that you wrote quad layer DUAL side. Those could indeed very well be around 200GB.. . But the vaporware applies to that even more.
