You're forgetting that replication costs for HD DVD are much lower. HD DVD doesn't require AACS protection with BD it's mandatory. HD DVD is region free (which is nice for the customer, buy one in Japan, play one in Scotland). HDi is much simpeler then BD-J and less time expensive.
Blu-ray has also many advantages over HD DVD like more disc space and exclusive support from several large movie studios.
Personally I like both formats since they basically do the same thing and quallity is almost the same. Just hope more and cheaper players come out soon.

Great price, unless you want to buy tomorrows release of "Ghost Rider".
