There are several other options here that may solve the BRD vs. HDDVD format war. As you know, a few players that play both. The other is that they are considering a disc with BRD on one side, and HDDVD on the other side. This option, if implemented would basically back off the war between the two formats. The discs may cost a little bit more, but then you have a disc that will do both. Also, the dual format players generally cost too much anyway. There is a huge difference in the way each format reads the disc.
