A minor irritant and a trend that I hope doesn't continue:

This is all very interesting indeed.

JTK - where did that 'shunned' quote come from.

I think because of 5gb less space. DL HD DVD = 30gb, SL BD = 25GB. Even with VC-1 codec space is still an issue. AFAIK current movie releases on DL HD DVD are around 27 GB. In the end SL BD will hav espace issues even with advanced codecs. Move itself will be good, I certainly hope so, but not much for the extras.
On the other hand MS folks on AVS claim VC-1 codec is good enough to cram 4hours of quality HD video on 30GB, but I doubt that.

The release day is weird though... October 30th is on a monday, normally movies are released on Tuesdays. I wonder if someone made an error.
