Benefits?

The key "benefit" of both formats (of BD, of course, even more so than of HDDVD) is the Device and Title keys revocation.

That means that someone somewhere has his finger on the OFF button of my player and on the ERASE button of my discs, which I supposedly have bought from them (supposedly, because I cannot really call a purchase with such a kevlar string attached a "purchase", sounds more like a lease in disguise to me).

As long as they keep AACS I will not touch either format with a barge pole.
