I've backed Blu-Ray from the start, but just now I checked the Blu-Ray website (http://www.blu-ray.com/info/) and it states that discs will hold 25/50 GB?!?!?!? I always thought it was a lot more isn't this passing into HD-DVD territory?
Got a tip for us?

Not really; that's a helluva lot more than the 15/30 that HD-DVD does. If for some reason 25/50 isn't enough for you, I guess you'll have to wait for holographic storage or something.
(Might not actually be as long of a wait as all that from what I've heard lately.)--Eric

The thing is, the 50 GB is theoretical, they have only been produced in a lab settings. 30 GB HD DVD's are available today.

Irrelevent. It's widely accepted that BD most likely will not be first to market. Big deal.
Being first to market doesn't equal winning the market. When BDs do make it to market they will be of higher capacity. Edit: Don't be fooled by BS, I mean MS.

We also have to keep this all in perspective. Until full blown production starts, these things start shipping and independent reviews can be made of them all this discussion basically relies on PR machines pimping their respective formats.

Contrary to what ignorant "journalists" say, Blu-ray is in production already. Sony has a line of high-def cameras and decks and they all use the 25GB disc.
