your kidding right? Blu ray players are almost just as bad with start up times (except the PS3) and just because they beat bluray to market, doesn't mean there use of the features were half baked. I would love for you to elaborate on that comment.
Give me a break lets count the full features HD DVD launched with. PiP, Check. Internet Connectivity, Check. Finalize Spec, Check. Other than the PS3 I can not think of any BD player to future proof. And now look at the mess we are in, without HD-DVD providing compitition Bluray prices have gone up, market share for HD (all HD including BD) has gone down compared to DVD. I'll take my HD-DVD player anyday over my PS3, load times were faster on my 360 Add-on anyways compared to PS3. Half baked indeed...

Your right, my Blu-ray player can't come anyhere close to the slow bootup times of these players...
The only think HD DVD did, was half baked features launched to market early (because they were half baked).
