Did anyone care to read up more about the 51GB discs??
There was no announcements made on whether the HD DVD players out there now can play this disc, although there were informal leaks that it would indeed play them, but with a LOT OF ERRORS during reading.
They are hoping that the built in error-correction in the players will compensate for this problem so that you won't notice any issues during playback.
And having a storage space that barely trumps (only for now) Blu-Ray discs isn't something to crow about. The fact that the data streaming rate is still limited to 36Mb/s on HD DVD means that you only get a cap on video and audio quality (though to most people this won't be noticeable).
