HD-DVD discs still costs 30% less then BR discs

There have been reports to the contrary in the past, with regard to mass production one report from February 2007 stated if you would replicate 25,000 single layer (15 GB) HD DVD disc and 25,000 single layer (25 GB) Blu-Ray discs there's a 12% price benefit with regard to HD DVD disc replication.

However this 12% only translates in a few dollar cents per disc, certainly nothing which would significantly weigh down on actual retail prices (as also Amazon's pricing seems to indicate).

Plus, it costs more to produce HD-DVD dual layer disks (30GB) than the Blu-Ray single layer disks (25GB), and seeing as HD-DVD discs are coming in dual layer, it is actually cheaper to press the Blu-Ray disks than HD-DVD.
