"The point" as I see it is that the folks responsible for a format war seem to be actively encouraging many ways to supposedly ameliorate the issue. We have combo players (horrendously expensive), the combo discs (each format on the other side, do we have 2-3 titles yet?), and now single side, but three layers (the only question is which BD of HD players actually work with this format).
"Old school DVD players" is a totally dumb comment, none of them pay HD formats, so it's pointless to say that. Like I said, the ONLY issue is playing on current BD or HD hardware.
Truth be told, every single news story further cements my personal decision to NOT buy into this madness. I DO get a decent amount of HD content from having a cable subscription.
“While it's not exactly punching it out with the heavyweights in multi-room audio, the Mint Studio does certainly hold its own with many similarly-priced iPod docks out there.”

Ooops, ignore my comment above, I misunderstood that twin was SD/HD on one side. Certainly 3 layers would NOT accommodate BD and HD on one side!
