Second Dual-Format/Single-Sided HD DVD announced
From an announcement from Bandai Visual:

Bandai Visual has announced it will bring the second volume in its popular anime series 'Freedom' to high-def this fall as a HD DVD/DVD twin-format release.
Due on September 25, 'Freedom: 2' will mirror the "twin format" configuration of 'Freedom: 1' which Bandai first released stateside back in June. Not to be confused with double-sided HD DVD/DVD combo discs, twin-format discs can contain up to three layers of recorded content on a single-sided disc. Like 'Freedom: 1,' 'Freedom: 2' will use two of those layers -- a 15GB HD DVD layer, and a 4.6GB standard-def DVD layer. High-Def Story |
Now here's hoping for a dual layer HD/single layer SD twin format in the near future. This would eliminate 50% (double sided complaints) of the negativity surrounding Combos.

IMO: Here´s hoping that these "combos" and "dual format"-discs would disappear altogether.. (sorry, just my opinion)

Re: Second Dual-Format/Single-Sided HD DVD announced
Here's hoping Bandai eventually realizes that Americans just will not pay the extortionate prices they somehow get away with charging in Japan. $40 for 20-odd minutes of anime is just not happening here, and I really want to see Freedom!

Can't disagree on the price. 2 bucks per min. is just a bit high.

There not. Dual format disks would eliminate the only issue I have with combos; dual-sided.
