Memory Tech has already said they're confident it will not be a problem.

So how is what Memory Tech says not "pure BS" as you claimed the other PR from Sony or whoever was?

Maybe because they've actually delivered what they promised so far? They have a very good track record in following up PR statements with real working production evidence.

Toshiba said the new technology, developed jointly with Mitsubishi Kagaku Media Co. and Hayashibara Biochemical Laboratories Inc., will enable the manufacture of single-recording HD-DVD disks with 15-gigabyte storage capacity.

No mention of costs or a potential release date?

Anybody actually expecting recordable media (RW or R) to be available with the first wave of HD DVD players?
