I only watch on a 60" set, so I haven't seen alot of jaggies.
I'm not sure why you keep emphasizing uncompressed lossless audio, when there is compressed lossless as well. Both are lossless. Both sound good. BD may have more flexability, but how many studios are taking advantage of the extra space? Sony does with their MPEG-2, because that *requires* high bitrate and lots of storage space. If that floats your boat...
As for Blood Diamond, The HD DVD won't be out for another month, so we'll see. BTW, that horrid abomination got 3 out of 5 stars in the review that set off all the blu-boys whine-fest. I'll tell you, between the blu-ray folks, and the Sony SXRD threads, you'ld be hard pressed to find a whinier site online.:-)
I do plan on eventually getting a BD player, as soon as they put out some titles I actually want to see. :-) Right now, they are focusing on a very narrow audience.

PS. BD has the dubious distinction of being the first of the new formats to suffer laser rot.
