IGN: Why DVD's better than Blu-Ray....

Almost everything you said is false, actually.

"Blu-Ray offers no extra features over DVD besides upscaled resolution and larger storage capaity"
It offers better video codecs, better audio, better scratch resilience, better authoring features allowing things like menu overlays and picture in picture for e.g. commentaries.
And yes, those things are actually used, I watched "Serenity" with a nice PiP commentary just two days ago.

"Blu-ray is irrelevant"
Keep telling yourself that it is irrelevant in the face of the big market players actually shifting their weight towards it. In another year the price of the readers will hit a market soft spot around 120$, and with these being al perfectly capable of upscaling DVDs and all new movies coming out in BR, there will be no reason to not buy one for each owner of an HDTV.

I was wondering why all the irrational hatred against a better, back compatible format. Then I read that you talked about "HD-DVD add on thing" and I realized that it's just a facet of console fanboyism. Good luck with that.
