The 50GB Vs. 30GB is a red herring. The only reason Sony needs that much space is because they are using 10 year old encoding-MPEG4. VC-1 is far more efficient,and gives a better picture in less space-they got that *painfully* long King Kong on HD DVD, and still got a stellar picture. What do you want with the other 20GB? Fill it with junky extras?
As far as studios goes, with the obvious exception of Sony (and maybe Fox?)the other studios' loyalty isn't carved in stone. HD DVDs are out selling BD discs by anywhere from 3:1 to 11:1, depending on your source. All it will take, is for the studios to look at those numbers. I suspect we'll some interesting news sometime in early '07.
FWIW, I expect to buy into Blu-ray, as soon as they meet my requirements:
1)The picture has to be as good or better than my HD-A1. This rules out the Sammy.
2)The player shouldn't cost 2X-3X the price of my HD-A1. This rules out the Panny, the (late)Pioneer, and the (very late)Sony. If I can find one *heavily* discounted(50%), I'll think about it.
3)There should be a reasonable amount of movies on BD that I want to see, with good PQ.
Time will tell.
