I have a question for those willing to answer, because I'm curious. If both HD-DVD and Blu-ray format came out at the same time and from the same company (no pre-existing bias), and had equal support from hardware makers, which one would be your prefered format?

HD-DVD because it has less DRM.
If DRM schemes were identical; Blu-ray: greater potential storage and faster potential write speeds.
