I like your approach for some things (basic competition). However I think a format war is different then normal competition.

The only positive thing about the war so far as i made BRA get their shit together fast when they were being compared to hddvd right from the onset. Maybe without hddvd existence we would still be dealing with sub par bd's.

Even with that above point I think its still best to avoid a format war.

i'm kinda pissed I had to spend $400 on a player and buy discs i can only use on this player now (HD-A1)

I plan to buy a BDP-s1 & ps3 and have already purchased 20+ BD's
If universal would have supported BD i'd have no reason to own HDDVD.
But since I did buy and HDDVD player i'll buy any Universal titles I want and any HDDVD's that serve as an advantage over BD such as Dolby TruHD tracks on some of the WB titles that dont show up on the Blu Disc version. Aside from that and possibly a better PQ review (which hasn't happened yet) I'll buy the Blu Disc version.
