RE: "It's about specs and physical limitation of the respective formats. "

And how are you going to fit 5.1 channels, let alone 7.1, of lossless PCM on that HD DVD? And don't tell me TrueHD or other compressed PCM algorithms sound the same as lossless, because I've heard the difference.

If the BD of Prestige is 37 GB and the HD DVD is 23 GB, there is significant data missing in the HD DVD version. I haven't done a comparison and you have, so I have to go with your assessment that it looks the same. Does it sound the same? Do you really think 14 GB worth of data is inconsequential? Why is the industry even messing around with the lower capacity format?
