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.
