While there are talks about PC HD DVD drives and standalone HD DVD players being physically capable of reading the triple layer format, so far neither Toshiba nor the DVD Forum have confirmed compatibility with existing HD DVD devices. However, if it turns out that new HD DVD writers would be required to write to the triple layer HD DVD format, there are only a small number of HD DVD writers that have been sold so far, which means that it is possible to release new triple layer writers before these start shipping with most new PCs as standard, assuming this happens over time.
