That gives DVD/HD a massive instant userbase ready to be tapped from the day it launches that surpasses Blu=ray's by the tens of millions.
Don't start this again...the most popular BD player in the world is the PS3, which has USB ports, and wireless access to practically any media server. Thus, most Blu-Ray player owners will have access to more (and better quality) media than this fabled DVD/HD whizzbang device.

Downloadable content won't approach BD bitrates for many years. Regardless of codec, the image and sound quality cannot possibly compete with anything found on a BD. Might not matter to some, but it does to people who hang out in home theatre forums.

If this fantastic format is real, it has epic fail written all over it. Horrible backwards compatibility with current DVD players (something Ruined despises about Blu-Ray), and a non-proven commerical delivery platform. I wouldn't expect anything different from Toshiba.
