The marginal/incremental cost over a DVD writer, of installing HD DVD, if it still existed, would be negligible.
This is quite sad actually. Even without a worldwide demand crisis, pre-2007, the extra costs associated with producing Blu- Ray, seemed prohibitive, and likely to constrain the market for high definition DVD products extraordinarily.
It is extremely ironic that Apple were one of the drum beaters for this unadoptable technology, the marketing of which crushed the rival which had the potential to reach a mass market.
