I have not found any titles at all that don't play with 3319a.
Pan's Labyrinth HD-DVD doesn't play audio in mine (3319a). It seems it can't read properly the core DTS-HD 7.1 audio. 3516 reads it as 5.1, but it works.

Notebooks tend to have a standard fitting so they fit most laptops, If you can remove your old drive then the new drive will fit it ( you may need to remove the molded front of your old drive and fit it to the new one, and some drives have locking mechanisms screwed to the drive which you can remove and put on the new one). Laptop drives have been for the past few years pretty much all the same size and shape, it's only the fittings like the molded fronts and the bits the laptop manufacturer screw to the drive to lock it in that differ and all the drives we've ever had in all have the right holes in them to make them interchangeable. If I look in our old stock box of drives for laptops I can go back about 6 years to just cdwriters and they are all the same shape and fittings as the ones today. The PC writer is due out this month as well
From our suppliers, We build video editing systems so I know that just about all of laptops (unless they use ultra slim drives which then tends to mean the laptops aren't powerful enough for HD anyway) use the same drives, it's like the PC drives all being made to the same basic shape so they are interchangeable. The only parts you may have to change over consist of a couple of screws that hold a piece of plastic onto the drive to help lock it into place. It's not difficult. Most laptops have either a latch or screw that keeps the drive inside the machine, undo that then the drive slides out. Then you normally see a piece of plastic down the side or along the back that is the locking mechanism, unscrew that and screw it into the same place on the new drive thats all there is to it. Some laptops have molded plastic bezels along the front of the drive which just unclip, this can then be clipped onto the new drive. It is very very simple to do and I've done this on HP, Sony, Asus, Dell and Clevo laptopsWell, that's all well and good, but to me this equates to "it will probably work, you might have to remove parts and such though to get it to fit." Spending several thousand dollars on a laptop just to get the ability to burn HD-DVD that will probably work is just not worth it. That's why to me the only real solution is IDE or SATA.
Where are you getting your information that Toshiba will be finally be releasing the SD-903A this month?

It is delayed, but it is coming.

tell warner what you think about this step!
sorry for providing this link, but it must be..
I e-mailed Warner...
... and congratulated them on making the right decision, which will end this pointless format war.
Not really the right or wrong desicion as there is none.
There is a wrong decision for consumers that are interested in fair use rights. The wrong decision is supporting Blu-ray.
But anyway, this is all pointless now since I am fully of the opinion that HD-DVD is doomed.
It's unfortunate, but, quite true. If I'm right and Universal caves in the next 6 months
And they aren't known for being consumer friendly.
Average consumers will just follow
I tend to agree with bk1987, I think it's mostly due to lousy marketing on the HD DVD camp's side behalf and better choices/marketing on the Blu Ray side. Toshiba has always had pretty lousy distribution and marketing over here - so it doesn't even surprise me at all.
