there's that and there's sometimes more capacity is more flexibility and content

Jack still hasn't said whether The Prestige HD DVD import has LPCM audio. The blu-ray sure does. If even one blu-ray title gets LPCM that would on HD DVD get TrueHD, that justifies the format right there AFAIC. And I suspect it will impact much more than one title.

bonus content is another consideration (granted, I mainly care about the movie).

The bottom line is that we don't know what content or features are coming from filmmakers. One probability is 7.1 audio. Ok, most people don't care about that, but my point is that we have one format with significantly greater flexibility and capacity to handle more content. Even if you guys don't believe that greater bitrates translate to greater quality (which should seem obvious), you have to admit it provides greater capacity and greater flexibility and therefore is the better format.
