>>>Yeah, either one will do just fine until you have lots of bonus features<<<
yea, where ARE all those interactive features of 1.1 and 2.0 BD promised? Oh that's right, they don't have any.

>>>So why would anyone purposefully choose the 30 gig format when you just acknowledged the 50 gig one will do just fine.<<<
Why are the majority of blu-ray movies on BD-25s? Are you going to throw away all the movies you have that are on BD-25s?

>>>Yet we can't even admit that it's a good idea to have higher capacity without attributing such claims to "fanboys".<<<
You have yet to prove it gives a better picture. You want us to accept it just because-that's the definition of a fanboy.

>>>Doesn't make sense. Capacity IS important.<<<
Again, PROVE IT GIVES A BETTER PICTURE. If you can't then it isn't important to EVERYONE.
BD may be better on paper, kind of like transistors are better than tubes on paper, and CDs are better than LPs on paper, but in practice, things are different. The theoretical advantages of BD really haven't panned out into practical advantages.

I believe is was Yogi Berra that said, "In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they aren't"

Probably because HD DVD has dumbed down the releases. Certainly all the Warner blu-rays are ported over from HD DVD. But all the best BDs are dual layer.

> > Are you going to throw away all the movies you have that are on BD-25s? < <

Maybe, if superior versions are released on BD-50.

> > You have yet to prove it gives a better picture. You want us to accept it just because-that's the definition of a fanboy. < <

Again, you're confused about the concept of capacity and about what I've been saying about the formats.

> > Again, PROVE IT GIVES A BETTER PICTURE. < <

Capacity is a central issue to quality A/V files. If you are still wandering around asking people for proof of this, you simply haven't paid attention to digital audio or video since its inception.

> > If you can't then it isn't important to EVERYONE. < <

Of course it isn't, but it should be.

That's silly. Capacity is your friend. We are not talking about different technologies, we are talking about the available surface area on a disc. This is very important issue, whether you care to acknowledge it or not.

> > I believe is was Yogi Berra that said, "In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they aren't" < <

But it is affecting the releases "in practice". Tell me how many HD DVD releases feature lossless PCM audio...tell me how many features you can include on HD DVD before you have to release them as 2-disc packages.
