Is the BD disk ceaper to produce than DVD?
I can't believe that. How long have dvd's been around? it's cheap mass produced and not new. I don't see many BD given away with £3.99 magazines.
I think it's cheaper to produce 3 dvd's than 1 bd disk and if you can show me substantial evidence that proves you right I'll continue to believe that.

Maybe he meant real physical cost, if not it doesnt make sense. There still R & D that needed to be cover on the price, in the future than yes, but now I would be very surprise that the overall cost is less expensive than 2 DVD. I would also like some proof.

it is because you do know one of the most thing's that make both HD DVD and Blu-Ray was the cost/GB per layer  was cheaper due to how you have to manuf. standard DVD's when you have to go to DL-DVD9's , both HD DVD and Blu-Ray are vastly cheaper cost per/GB per layer because it's like a production like you would  a single sided single layer CD or DVD

Think about this for a sec.

CD single sided single layer = 600 an 700 MB capacity's

DVD dsingle sided single layer = any where from 1.8 GB to 4.7 GB

SINGLE SIDED SINGLE LAYER 

HD DVD 15 GB

Blu-Ray 25 GB

there is no contest BOTH HD DVD and Blu-Ray production cost per/GB in single layer single sided is chaper than even a

single DL-DVD 9

 

What your saying is true, but its a big simplification of the reality. Reality is that youlll pay a lot more royalties on a blue-ray disc than with 2 Dual layer DVD disc.
