DRM isn't that big an issue for me but it is for the major studios.

If BD+ works (and I'll be surprised if it doesn't get hacked effectively), Blu-Ray will have a huge advantage from a studio perspective.

I agree I'd rather not worry about region coding. HD-DVD has this advantage going for it. I'm just not convinced of HD-DVDs long-term longevity. Who is more likely to "Cry Uncle" first: the Blu-ray exclusive studios: Sony, Fox, and Disney; or Universal (HD-DVD exclusive) ? Or none of the above, in which case the retailers are doomed to support HD dual inventories.
