Dayv I read information about HD that side that standard player could play some layer of the HD DVD, while an HD DVD player could read all the layers, dont think it mentioned two sides. This is older information thou. I myself am torn between the two, HD DVD is cool because it should play, in some way, in DVD player. But BluRay hold more and, at least a while, are going to be in case to protect the actual disc.

Dont take any of my information to heart, I have not really researched the HD war in afew months, 6 or so. I would say that this will end up like the Betamax\VHS war.
