Blu-ray capacity = no more 2-disc sets?

[blu-ray fan002]

Now that Blu-ray is out, will there ever be any more 2-disc sets? I know that there are a few, but with the 50GB, it's possible that the "2-disc set" may not be used very much anymore.

POTC 1 & 2 are both BD50's with BD25's for the features. I'd prefer it this way, if they max out the audio/video.

well if they really do come out with more than just a 50Gb disc for Blu-Ray then there wouldnt be a need for it but for the ones that are 25GB and 50 GB i would like for them to be a 2 disc set

Spiderman 3 is a 2 disc set, 50GB movie, 25GB Extras

my guess is that as time goes by they will become more prevalent. There is this insane assumption (usually pushed by HD DVD fans) that there is such a thing as too much (or even just right amount of) capacity. When DVDs first came out, they were single layer then ,like BD, DL came out and people thought it was enough and today many are two disk sets. What people forget are several facts

1) we are talking GB and not hours, the same movie could take 10GB or 20GB or 30GB or more depending on the quality and content (do you add more languages?)

2) studios are just starting with new content, we have no idea what content will come with the movies in 2y, 5y.....

the fallacy comes from the assumption that movies don't get longer. The problem is that they fail to realize that a movie that uses <1mbps DD that goes to 18mbps lossless needs 18x the capacity for audio, if they add 5 languages instead of 3 capacity needs to increase

Consumers are used to 2 disks sets and paying a premium price for them.
Why would the studios deviate from that model and jeopardize maximizing profits?
