Actually, the programming knowledge and amount of code required for BD-java is significantly more complex than with HDi, which may prove to be a deterrent for studios deciding to develop truly interactive content on Blu-ray. A number of Blu-ray titles have already created problems with advanced features on various players. Also, Blu-ray players are not required to have an ethernet port, while HD-DVD players must have one. Therefore, the HD-DVD standard is actually more future-proof than Blu-ray in terms of ease of updating.
Again though, it's way to early to call it either way. In the long run, I think HD-DVD ultimately has the greater potential for benefit to the consumer in terms of costing, features, manufacturability, etc. Whether this potential will have the opportunity to be realized remains to be seen.
