Walt Disney Home Entertainment, a major Hollywood studio and one of the strongest backers of Blu-ray disc format, voted for approval of a preliminary specification of 51GB triple-layer HD DVD media, just like all the backers of HD DVD and unlike some other backers of Blu-ray Association within the DVD Forum, who typically abstain in HD DVD-related votes.
The fact that Walt Disney Home Entertainment, which official stance has always been strong Blu-ray support, may be an indicator that even members of the Blu-ray Association are potentially interested in the forthcoming versions of the HD DVD standard.
On Amazon, you can't get an RTX 4090 for less than this one from Gigabyte, which now offers great value after an eye-catching April deal.
Gamespot: The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P is still our favorite PS5 headset, but there are several great alternatives to choose from in 2024.

if hd dvd is cheaper and storage was blu rays only advantage then maybe u could see film companies goin neutral or even going exclusive to hd dvd, this war is not over yet
With recent strong sales of HD DVD in Europe and the US combined with growing support for the format, I think that many companies are rethinking their stance on HD DVD and considering dropping exclusivity with Blu Ray to support both formats.
to manufacture these new 51 GB disks there really won't be any difference bw Bluray and HD DVD. I know that Blu-ray has the higher content per layer on the disk, but 51 GB is more than sufficient for movies. Anything greater would more than likely be used for PC storage, but with the large HDDs coming out now it really isn't necessary.
I have to laugh at Disney though. It seems like they are playing everyone. They support Blu-ray exclusively, then they approve the new HD DVD standard, "and" they also have movies out on XBLM. LOL
For the next news post about and hour from now saying, "Disney: We never said anything about HD-DVD blah blah blah"
...thats pretty much the way things go around here. *rolls eyes*
Fanboys, save your self the embarrassment and just read the news without beating your chest for one company or the other.
Meh it's so obviously that HD-DVD only use this 51GB disc as a marketing ploy I mean they can only manage to squeese 1GB higher then a dual layered Blu-Ray? I'm sure thay could have went higher. I mean if they manage 51GB on a triple layer what can blu-ray manage?
