Storage capacity != quality. Once you have enough capacity the quality  
is maximized. Using more storage after that is simply wasting storage.  
HD-DVD has enough.

They also pay less for fewer features all the time. As long as they get  
what they want, a movie in HD quality with a reasonable set of extras,  
at a price they are willing to pay (under $20), they will be happy.

Both manufacturer's prices will come down, advantage for several years:  
Toshiba.
