The only reason most are just using 25-30GB is because those are made by companies that support both formats. They are just using one encode for both the Blu-Ray disc, and the HD-DVD disc, instead of using two seperate ones, like they should! They are not fully using the Blu-Ray potential, and this hurts the Blu-Ray supporters as they are paying for HD-DVD's mistakes. I see this 51GB HD-DVD disc as a good thing, even though I am a BD supporter, because now the companies have NO excuse for not using the full space and specs for both, as they are now both the same size.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm heading to university next year, and I've purchased a MacBook. I'm also taking my four year old desktop, just in case I'm left with no computers when the MacBook is being repaired or whatnot. With only two USB ports on a MacBook, I want a Bluetooth mouse. Budget is about $100, and of course, it needs OS X support. Thanks for the help!"
