I am surprised no one else has commented. The big advantage to TL HD-DVDs is the ability to complete replace the DVD SKU for movies that do not have a large run time. So you would be talking of million of discs on the market ready to move into the next generation. Even if you just replace the "Special Edition" skus with that is a lot of discs.
I wouldn't call the 51 gig as vapor ware. It takes a long time to get these formats tested and approved. To take only 9 months to get this spec approved is a good thing. Just look how long it has taken Blu-Ray to implement Java.
I have the 880 Harmony and it has its quirks but I can never go back.
“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.”

Long run titles on one disc is a nice. No doubt Blu-ray has more vapor-ware than HD DVD.
Yeah, I can't go back to 8 remotes either, but the harmony wasn't for me. I have been through quite a few universal remotes though.
