Oh..and good job by the way taking a jab at a company thinking outside the box

you gotta remember, they've already stated that both BRD and HDDVD drives read thier discs MUCH faster then DVD drives do.

so a 2x BRD might be comparable to current DVD speeds.

2x one format doesnt equal 2x another format. people used to think the same thing about DVD drives, "well how come a DVD drive says it reads at 16x while a CD drive reads over 50x, isnt that much slower?"
different drives, different forms of measurment.
