Just another round in the HD DVD vs Blu-Ray wars here folks ;-)
It's not clear if existing players would be capable of playing the new triple-layer media.
Where this could get interesting is if it means cheaper movies because of the fewer disks needed, or cheaper HD DVD/DVD hybrids: The current ~$5 premium for hybrids is kind of a pain and too pricey to be offered as the ONLY DVD release.
