Whatever happened with Dual DVD, HD-DVD Discs?
 

From 2004: "The new discs would help Hollywood studios and other content providers in their anticipated transition to the new HD-DVD format. HD-DVD is being developed to replace DVD for high-definition content."

Seemed like a good idea.

I think they just decided that flippers (Combo) discs were the easier route, plus then you can have HD-30 on one side, DVD-9 on the other...and we all know how much HD DVD fans LOVE combo discs. :rolleyes:

There are already some TWIN format discs available from Japan. Bandai is also releasing anime on TWIN discs in the U.S. which starts w/Freedom Vol. 1.

I personally have nothing against the combo discs except for their higher pricing.
