If and when 50GB BD double layer pressed ROM discs are in reasonable production and HDMI 1.3 AVRs are readily available then IMHO a good HDMI 1.3 BD player may be a valid upgrade for the audiophile/videophile. At that time I would expect studios releasing for BD use VC-1 or AVC for video codecs and one does not have to put up with the huge waste of space MPEG2 requires. The Blue-ray Disc (BD) format does have a technical advantage with its 48 Mbps bandwidth (given 50 GB space is avail). But I am not sure the above scenario will happen. They have had five years trying to make 50GB DL ROM discs and have not succeeded in getting a good yield yet.

I would think that they would need to use VC-1 now since they only have BD25's & MPEG-2 for space issues. If 50's ever do become a reality they wont have as many space problems as they do now.
