Is blu-ray even big enough? First generation blu-ray movies were on a single layer 25gb discs, and the quality was inferior to HD-DVD. How much of the 50gb disc is a movie going to take?

 

first generation Blu-Rays used the outdated MPEG2 codec, which is why they looked worse than the HD DVD discs which used VC1 from the beginning, while BRs began to be encoded with VC1 2-3month after the first BRs released

 

I had forgotten that Microsoft's VC1 codec saved blu-ray.

lol sure they did.

It has absolutely no connection with every PS3 being a bluray player and being backed by the BDA.

/sarcasm

If Microsoft had their way both HD-DVD and Blu-ray would have failed.
