"Both formats can co-exist, with HD-DVD in America and BD (BD?) in Europe and Asia. And it shouldn't matter to the movie and gaming industries. In fact, I don't think Hollywood would mind that at all since it would mean and end to parallel import."
Well, I doubt those studios that are issuing in both formats would mind, but those that are issuing in only 1 format may mind because it would lock them out of any zone which did not support their preferred format or force them to support both formats if they wished to sell world-wide. And if they go dual format to sell world wide, they may as well go dual format in the US as well.
I'm not certain that argument holds up all that well.
