PIP/IME is a temporary (and dubious in my POV) advantage, at best for HD DVD; Blu-ray will eventually have an equivalent, and probably better implementation this year. Blu-ray has bandwidth and storage capacity advantages HD DVD cannot and will never match. This translates to higher video and audio bitrates (e.g. almost 100% lossless/uncompressed audio on Blu-ray exclusive studio releases, er... except for Warner) and breathing room for all the special features some people seem to crave (e.g. PIP/IME).
