3-5gb is the maximum you'd need to satisfy 98% of the market 100% of the time. The new compression technology is amazing. The new Wireless technology is amazing as well. Who will want Blu ray when storage/networking/playback technology is progressing so rapidly? By the way, don't worry about the cable companies... they'll be the ones who'll sell you the movies so they'll make damn sure that the bandwidth is available so you can stream movies straight away. I think they're even rolling out 100mbit around the big cities. Do you want to A - Drive to the store to buy that new dvd that you really want, or B download it onto your media server and have it available on all your computers/tvs at once for less than you would have paid for the DVD? The luddites will stick with DVD and the early adopters will abandon blu ray. Think Ipod and you'll understand.

3-5GB Would be your average movie compressed in 720p, and as new technologies come out, and 1080p TVs become more popular, the market will want more.
I find it funny how you're all into "new technology" and you think it's all so "amazing" yet you want to stick with DVD. I doubt you've ever watched a movie in 1080p, or you'd see why so many of us dislike DVD and prefer Blu-ray.
