HD30/DVD9 will be ready by XMAS. That being said, HD15 works fine with many films using VC-1 as we've seen already.

Although, the price seems pretty reasonable, but only because Amazon is heavily discounting it. Most dual disc releases have MSRP's much higher than standard HD-DVD's. Instead of making the manufacturing more complicated, why not just package one 30 GB HD-DVD along with a separate DVD-9 in a dual pack case at a reasonable price?

Because then you are giving the customer two movie discs for the price of one; they could give the free DVD9 to their sister or family member for instance. However, having a combo disc allows you to retain software backwards compatibility so that the disc can be played anywhere without giving a free movie away. I don't see why you'd complain when you can get the disc for $22.49 - that's the same price Best Buy sells standard HD DVDs for. As for "flipper," who cares when the movie isn't split up? Don't you find it strange that you'd rather not scratch the standard DVD side and instead not have that side/feature at all? 
For every shadow, no matter how deep, is threatened by morning light.
