The real hand to the face is the price. There is no reason HD DVD media and hardware won't eventually drop to the current DVD prices. Plus you will eventually get a DL 30GB disc. While Blu-ray will never be able to be able to approach that cost due to license fees and production cost. (thank you Sony and it's supporters!!) 50GB would be great for backups and such, but I don't think it will ever justify the price premium. (as everyone has been able to see, Blu-ray's more advanced technology doesn't translate to better looking movies)

"but I don't think it will ever justify the price premium"

Blu-ray is cheaper per GB than hd dvd... and have more future proof variants in the face of BD 100 and BD 200...
