From what I have been told, this isn't the case. In order to increase the yields on the discs, they are having to limit the data on the discs to under 45 GB because if they go over the 45 GB yields drop to very low levels. Even by doing this, their yield rates are much lower than HD DVD's. I am awaiting the delivery of a BD-ROM player for my PC to verify this myself.

The only difficulty with BD-50 is delivering the tech, even Sony the grand masters at BD-50 replication have got limited expertise in this area so loaning out guys from their own unit will be taking resources away slowing everything down in DADC.

In the non-Sony manufacturing plants that have attempted to make BD50's, their yields are around 10%, so essentially these lines are useless at this point and we are back to only two semi-viable production lines for BD50's. That means there are only two lines to produce discs for Sony, Disney, MGM, FOX, & Lions Gate. I think this was one of the many reasons that Paramount/Dreamworks made the decision that they did.
