Nonsense

That's a lot of crap. The extra space isn't needed unless one wishes to use MPEG2, which seems to be Sony's preference. Newer, more efficient codecs like VC-1 or AMV use much less space and require less of a bitrate. For all of BD's technical "superiority", they can't produce a picture better than HD DVD. At best they can equal it. As far as space goes, Universal got Jackson's king kong,3 hrs. 8 mins, on a disc, and it is considered by many to be reference quality.

>>>I've just started this game, but so far, Blu-Ray whacks HD-DVD based on all three (3) HD-DVDs<<<
Then do your homework. The only way to compare them is with the same movie-Warner's movies look the same on both formats. Same codec and transfer for both.
Most people who own both consider them comperable, or prefer HD DVD for PQ and BD for AQ.
In the mean time, BDA still hasn't even finalized the specs for Blu-ray. It was supposed to be done by June, but they pushed it back until October 31. That's why BD isn't getting all of Warner's movies. BTW, this may also mean that many/ most BD players will be obsolete by Oct. 31.
enjoy,
Jack
