Sony is getting a yield of about 50% for BD-50s, with the yield varying depending on the amount of data on the discs. BD-25s are between 60% and 70%, depending on the amount of data. That is NOT good.
HD DVDs have a yield of over 95%. Yields for combos, are unknown, but obviously lower than regular HD DVDs.
