First 3X DVD-ROM Disc Cut

Doug Carson & Associates Inc. (DCA) has announced that the first 3X DVD-ROM disc was successfully mastered and replicated at Sonopress in North Carolina. The processed used to create the disc utilized DCA's MIS 8.5 DVD formatter software. 3X DVD-ROM is a variant of DVD-ROM, which allows for HD video and UDF 2.5 on the DVD format, and can be played back in HD DVD players. According to DCA, several manufacturers are looking at the 3X DVD-ROM as a low cost entry into the HD DVD market.

So let me get this straight... we've got DVD-ROM, 3x DVD-ROM, HD DVD, and Blu-Ray discs? Is there anything else I'm missing? Sounds like there's a lot of competition in the HD market...
