A US patent has been filed for the discs that could hold both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray versions of movies.

nice one

the article wrote:Few movie studios are planning to release films in both high-definition formats; the majority are backing Blu-ray. Only three are backing HD-DVD.

didn't know that, I assumed it was a pretty even split, seems Sony have at least one ace up their sleeve then
