| Posted: August 5, 2008 10:08 PM | | | | I'm just going through adding the disc IDs for my HD DVD discs and I've found that the B side of The Matrix is actually a dual-layer DVD containing only special features. Is this enough to class it as an HD/DVD combo or does the film have to be available on both HD and SD sides to make it a combo disc?
Edit: it's actually all 3 Matrix films. | | | Last edited: August 5, 2008 10:11 PM by northbloke |

I know of very few HD DVD Combos that are so setup, but nearly everyone is labeled HD DVD Combo, I only have a couple myself, but I had been tracking them up to the demise oif the HD format.
