Long time viewer, first time poster, but yes with all the talk about the new 51GB HD-DVD does that mean that they can use the extra 2GB per layer and use them on new releases?

No, it's not in the standard yet.

It will be coming soon even if triple layer doesen't make it.

Remember CD's 60min then 70min then 80min...

That's true. However, move one generation forward and note that DVD has always been 4.7GB/8.5GB. As the pits get smaller and tracks get narrower it's got to be hard to tweak the format without breaking existing hardware.
