Oh, and I forgot to mention... the reason Blu-ray movies use 25 GB is because 50 GB discs barely started being used.
Blu-ray is cheaper per gig, needs less layers and therefore is more reliable, and it's harder to scratch. And there are any more apps and and hardware makers on Blu-ray.
Ok call me a cynic, but wouldn't the whole "blu ray is harder to scratch" article sway corporations towards HD DVD? If companies could come out with technology that is indestructable, then there is no hope of repurchase.
Maybe I'm not giving corporations enough credit though. But I would be shocked if discussions like these were not brought up in company meetings.
