This is from a Polish website so i'll translate it for you http://tech.wp.pl/kat,1009789,title,51-gigabajtowe-HD-DVD-oficjalnie-zatwierdzone,wid,9425189,wiadomosc.html?rfbawp=1196020337.714
The Executive Committee of the DVD Forum organization has officially accepted the specification of new three-layer HD-DVD discs. These would be able to store up to 51GB of information.
The new specification bears the name of HD DVD v. 2.0. It is worth noting the Toshiba announced initial research of these discs over 10 months ago - during the initial days of the year 2007 the japanese company declared they would be ready for a release in the summer months. Unfortunately work had been sluggish, causing the DVD Forum organization to wait until November before accepting the new format.
It is not known at present as to when retailers will recieve their first batch of 3-layer HD DVD movies. However, companies supporting the format foretell that, with this release, the HD DVD format will gain yet another advantage over Blu-ray. By this it is meant that the discs would be able to hold a greater amount of data, by 1GB, than the most space-gracious blu-ray discs (currently there are two options, single layer discs with the capacity of 25 GB and respectivley dual layer 50GB discs)
So what do you think about this? Seems to me that Sony better get to work on thos 100+ Gb discs that they talked about earlier. It seems that the "extra storage" arguement just got flushed down the toilet.
