I personally hate the combo disks as they inflate the price and make for a much more fragile disc. But being that my HD-DVD collection sits at 5 movies, I'm definitely taking caution during this format war. But my gut is telling me HD-DVD is starting to lose.
I've been on the fence with the combo discs for awhile. I'm always taking DVD's with me to work to watch during my lunch break (but have no HD-DVD drive on my work cpu of course) so the option of having both HD and SD versions is a nice convenience. BUT...if it does in fact run up the price of discs by a few dollars, I'd rather just have my HD-DVD disc for my home theatre and save some money.
I guess making new technology "backwards-proof" might not be sending out the right message anyway. Anything to get the prices is good in my book.
