No it won't

BD players won't be as cheap as HD DVD players. Even 1.0 players aren't. Sure, there will be an occasional sale, but they won't be as cheap. The manufacturers don't want to sell them cheap. They would have no reason to make them if you take away the high profits. That's the whole point of BD.
>>>The only issue is has this technical superiority manifested itself in discernible PQ/SQ differences?<<<
It certainly does not manifest itself as a difference on my 1080p TV.

EDIT: As for features, where are all of the 1.1 and 2.0 compliant players? Why has it taken the BDA over a year to get where HD DVD was when it launched?
