I realize the difficulty of the challenge, to put BluRay on on side and HD-DVD on the other. It sure would be sweet to see the problems solved, though.

On a related topic, I have a bunch of movies that I burned to very cheap no-name DVD-RWs, and found that anything I put on those very cheap discs can not be read reliable on any DVD player in my house, or even the drives that made them in the first place. However, the Xbox HD-DVD player so far has read and played every one perfectly. I'm guessing it's the greater precision of the blue laser or some related aspect that makes this a better reader for SD DVD disks. Either was, I'm very impressed.
