As a fellow engineer, I can agree. But I also thought Blu-ray was perfectly fine technically as well. You have to remember that they didn't want to release in 06, but their hand was forced by competition. I don't think Blu-ray "over did it". You have to remember that HD DVD sold at a substantial loss for most of its life.
My only 2 gripes would have been to get the 51GB discs out faster and to have required the hard disc coating. I have no fear right now of buying used blu-rays, but I would never buy used DVDs/HD DVDs (includes games).
