They can't do much more within the 30G capacity limitation. The special features for Blu-ray are still lacking but profile 1.1 will start to level the "special-feature" field and I expect Blu-ray will eventually have the better features. Not that I care for the features, but I'm finding out my nephews/nieces/rest of the folks actually enjoyed the IME and "observational puzzles" set up for "Bourne Ultimatum".
HD DVD needs the 51G disc if it's even viable. It's probably the only way they have a shot at wooing Disney. But even if's possible with 1st,2nd,3rd generation HD DVD players, they still have the bandwidth limitation to deal with. Of course, a lot people don't see this as an issue. YMMV.
Mass market economies of scale will drop Blu-ray players below $99 if it ever takes off, that's the way electronics technology packaged by cheap Chinese labor has been working. (OTOH, I expect rising energy and associated shipping costs to eventually neutralize Chinese cheap labor manufacturing, but that's another topic).
Dual format players ? It's going to stay expensive until it's perfectly clear both formats are here to stay, and that's not a given anytime soon.
