yes, i know they are in the final development stage for much larger HD-DVDs, but these will not be for movies on general release. this is because the cheaper end HD-DVD players and drives cannot play them due to the multiple layers of information. in theory HD-DVDs can match Blu Rays for memory, however it's the hardware players that will need to play them.

this is partly due to the HD-DVD alliance aim to reduce the costs as low as possible as early as possible to sell as many stand alone systems as possible. this led to the release of systems which are not 'future proof'. the question then remains, do HD-DVD then start to develop movies on larger capacity disks that cannot be played on the cheaper consoles, or do they stick with the smaller capacity disks. if the former, then those who purchased an 'xbox type HD-DVD player' or a cheap end stand alone player will need to updgrade.
