I think it is great and definately the way to go for the future of blu-ray. As I understand layered reading, it has to do with the intensity of the beam reading the content on one layer and not seeing the other. In theory, this is a possible firmware update for our players. Unless, the intensity required is out of spec for that particular machine.
Will be a while before we see it, so not worried.... unlike the HD-DVD camp.
