"Why would you want hd DVD burner? They are low capacity and not cost efficient."

30Gb is only considered low capacity against the blu-ray capacity that they've said they can get.

HD DVD are WAAAAAY cheaper to make than blu-ray, as the HD DVD lines are just technologically advanced DVD lines. Blu-ray needs all new lines to produce them.

upgrades/new lines. I'm not sure, but I'm fairly certain upgrades are cheaper than creating all new lines.

This player/burner is a big step in the format war, given LG is backing blu-ray.

That is grade A bullshit mister. Blank HD-DVD disks costs the same if not more than a blank bluray disk. No matter what happens in the commercial market, bluray disks will always be the preferred choice in home burning. Especially with the advent of these combo drives, why would anyone choose a burnable HD-DVD disk that has less disk space and potentially costs more? Maybe 15GB is enough for you, but that is easily eaten up with some HD video.
