@whyser:
Not really. BD-Java requires skilled programmers, while HDi does not, thereby lowering the costs involved in production. Even if BD-Java offers additional flexibility down the line, the inconsistent nature of the hardware spec makes it a leery proposition for both studios and consumers alike. Why expend extra time and money on a feature that is not guaranteed to work on every player, and which may require even more time with testing and bug-fixes? There have been no compatibility issues with any of the advanced HD-DVD features, due to the fact that they have a finalized spec. Even though the new Blu-ray profile goes into effect October 31, that only applies to new players produced after that date. So are early adopters out of luck? Will the profile change again? Will studios bother to apply these features when they have had so little experience with them thus far?
