As an HD-DVD owner (via the xbox 360 add-on), I strangely would welcome this. I've been really hesitant to pick up any titles on HD-DVD, unless I the title really demanded HD, because of the format war. I just picked up Planet Earth, but I have a strange feeling that the HD-DVD camp is starting to lose the battle. Blu-Ray seems to be picking up steam, and I'm annoyed at how there are exclusives to each format. Blu-Ray gaining the support of all studios would be a positive step toward the end of these silly format wars. And then I could maybe even convince myself to buy a PS3... maybe.
"Ah, HD DVD, our old friend - we thought we'd never see you again. But there was no mistaking it, here's the logo tucked away in Chinese manufacturer TCL's booth on a China Blue HD deck next to a similar Blu-ray player."

Let me get this straight... you are buying fewer HD DVD titles because you fear that other people are buying fewer HD DVD titles?
In any event, a question: would you be more likely to buy a two-format disc (BD on one side, HDDVD on the other)? Even if it cost $5 more? If so, why?
