Blu-ray camp responds to 51GB HD DVD claims
The Blu-ray Disc Association has responded to claims that the HD DVD Promotional Group is to release triple-layer 51GB HD DVD discs. Frank Simonis, chairman of the BDA, told Tech.co.uk that he is not surprised by the announcement and that the HD DVD Group is reacting to the market instead of leading it.
Simonis indicated a belief that the HD DVD Group's BD-trumping 51GB disc announcement is purely a publicity stunt.
Publicity stunt?
"I'm not surprised at all," he told us. "But we believe they are very much in a reactive mood. Based on their format one would expect that a triple layer disc is three times a HD DVD single layer adding up to 45 GB. Now suddenly they change it to 51GB for promotional reasons.

Reacting???
I believe it's called progressing. Wasn't it the BDA who was trumpeting 50GB storage to begin with and now that the standard for HD DVD is progressing it's a publicity stunt?
To me the BDA has been reacting to HD DVD spec, which has been standard since day one. Network support, In-Movie Experience, etc.
