Guess what Einstein... it will NOT arrive this year, since there are
only two more days left from your own post... and don't hold your breath
for it coming up any time soon... The 100GB BD format is more compatible
with the current BD players than the 51GB is with the current HD DVD
players (read Toshiba).

Beta Ray (I'm assuming you're trying to be witty here)... that's cool,
except for one thing... it does not help your cause, especially when you
think of BetaMax being supported by one hardware manufacturer, just like
HD DVD is presently.

HD DVD is not in the greatest of shape, not even in your mind...
otherwise you'd not stoop so low out of the blue... you're way too
desperate bud!
