Let's not forget that Blu-Ray lanched after HD-DVD, so it had less time to mature as a format. Sure it needs tons of more features, but with the extra storage, it WILL get those features.

These features weren't that impressive on HD-DVD. I guess I didn't make that clear. More still has to be done, so that we get a lot more exclusive content, not just slightly more.

What I'm looking forward the most is to be able to watch a movie from completely different camera angles. Most movies are shot through multiply angles, I'm waiting for that.

Although that would mean more video data. And I don't mean just a seperate code like PiP. It would take a hell of a lot more frames. Even blu-ray couldn't fit that, unless the whole film was run at 480p. That and all the video from the cameras needs to be saved. It is an interesting possibility, though.

Also, I hate having 4-6 disc per tv series, 3-4 episodes per disc is unacceptable, I hope I can just get all the main episodes in 1 blu-ray disc, and extra features on another.

In case you forgot, the capacity in blu-ray is not to get more content on. It's to fit the content in HD. Anything that won't run in HD will likely be on regular DVD for quite a while. Any series filmed in HD would take up the full disc space, and still need multiple discs.
