You have to love the irony of this post. Over a year after HD DVDs launch will bring Blu-ray's features closer to parity with HD DVD. Even more interesting is that despite the lack of persistent storage and ethernet on many BD players they still charged significantly more for their players (non PS3). It was as if consumers got caught up on 50GB discs and failed to look at the rest of the player.
Now imagine where we would have been had the studios just supported the format that was ready to replace DVD. Blu-ray wasn't ready and Sony led the biggest electronics filibuster in the history of consumer electronics.
