Blu-ray is 50gb right? Why do TV show seasons take more discs?

And so what about the ability to keep increasing storage space? Is that now no longer true or is it?

I DO CARE! Same thing I've said I think in most of my posts! My question is how much do you all think the general public for one are going to care enough for High Definition to buy new players, update their films (again for the second time in just a couple of decades) and buy the required equipment for all of this?

Because you don't have to upgrade your films if you don't want to. When Blu-Ray players keep going down, sooner rather than later (before 2012 when they want to eliminate analog outputs) all you'll be able to buy is Blu-Ray. Then people, when their third chinese crap $50 DVD player dies on them they'll buy Blu instead of a new DVD player.

Your old movies play just find, the Blu players upconvert the old ones.

You're unlikely to see beyond BD-50 at retail. Supposedly they'll eventually have 200GB writeables though
