If over 50% of the movies are using the 50GB discs, then it's a necessity. These movies obviously needed more than 25GB to satisfy what the studio wanted to include for that particular title and satisfy storage and bandwidth requirements. Otherwise, compromises have to be made and audiophiles/videophiles know what that means (quality is the first to take the hit, not content).
"if its not used, its not an advantage either."
If studios are using 50GB discs, then they need them. The fact that over 50% of Blu-ray discs are 50GB versions means the capacity really is needed. And what studio would pay for a 50GB disc when it only needs <25GB to satisfy the above requirements?
Microsoft is never going to tell how many HD DVD encodes they have done which would have benefitted from a higher bandwidth ceiling and/or more storage capacity (at least not truthfully). One can only speculate that there were movies produced that bandwidth and storage capacity played a part in what was the final product. With 50GB of storage and a higher bandwidth ceiling, that type of speculation isn't part of the Blu-ray specs.
