Blu-ray is already bigger than the biggest HD-DVD beleived to be possible 50>45. Blu-ray can theoretically go up to 200GB and TDK has already been able to creat a disc that can do it. The read speed for HD-DVD is 48Mbps while Blu-ray has a 72Mbps read speed. In the future if Blu-Ray wins we will have a product that can get better and better over time. Mitsubishi is already talking about Filming in 3DHD and making it possible only on Blu-ray. Other benifits are bigger disk size equals less disks for things like TV shows, and franchises. Imagine if you could get all the Star Wars films on 2 disks, it is possible, but only on Blu-ray. If HD-DVD wins we will all be looking at the same thing we are right now for the next 8 years, with Blu-ray as the victor the future is open to more possibilites. |
Film/TV show makers will never squeeze a series on to as few discs as possible. That would force them to charge a lower price. On the other hand if they use several discs that would make a higher price look justifiable.
