Actually, Blu-ray is only 25GB per layer. You can have a 50GB Blu-ray disc, but that's a dual-layer disc. By comparison, HD DVD holds 15GB per layer, so a dual-layer HD DVD can hold 30GB.
Regardless, a triple-layer HD DVD disc still can't hold as much as a dual-layer Blu-ray disc. And I don't think either format is going to gain a huge foothold in the marketplace, unless the studios start releasing everything in dual-disc formats. (Which they can do with either HD DVD or Blu-ray, actually...)
