You're also only looking at only one relevant spec - capacity, when there are others (transfer, codec used)and not asking the question "how much is needed". The DVD-9 spec is completely adequate for films at that level of quality. HD-DVD films at full resolution have not had an issue with disc space (including extras), and the trend in reviews seems to be saying HD DVD is a preferable choice for colour depth, clarity, etc. Extra empty space means nothing when the alternative has just as much capacity for its purpose (films) and the quality is different. If you're looking for removable storage, it's a different argument but there are tons of other alternatives to optical discs here. Why isn’t there any comment here on quality?

Thats why I'm sticking with blu-ray so a movie only has one disc. I hate DVD’s with alot of disc’s. Thats why I’m sticking with blu-ray so a movie only has one disc.

This was a standard centered in the PC WINTEL world, like the rest of the complete Apple platform is now-a-days. “Apple managed to make USB a standard for everyone” — no they didn’t they were a Johnny-come-lately and wanted their own Firewire to win, which we all know it hasn’t.

The disc needs to hold the high definition transer of the movie, that's it. Special features can always be on another disc. The winning format will meet the needs of the consumer at the cheapest price, and right now, I don't know what the consumer needs with 60gb. I still don’t see what capacity has to do with anything.
