Heh, I've thought that myself a number of times. I hope that won't be the deciding factor though, and there's a good chance it won't be do to the early expense and availability that will plague both formats. Plus, even the name might be a bonus since Blu-ray stands out as more unique, and, if anything, people are identifying Blu-Ray disks as a kind of HD-DVD as well, and the superior HD-DVD at that.
