I believe that HD-DVD has more current and potential benefits for both the consumer and for the industry in general, and that is why I prefer it.

Wow, did someone pay you to say that?

Hm, why would anyone pay him for stating an all-too comprehensible opinion?

HD DVD has:

- no region coding
- no BD+ protection
- a final specification since inception
- a better yield rate than BR
- lower production costs than BR
- cheaper play-back devices than BR
- the advantage of not being mainly controlled by a company that is part of the film industry

BR offers more storage space (that doesn't result in better picture quality though) and seems currently better suited for back-up purposes, other than that I cannot see any advantages on the BR side.
