In Germany the HD-DVD has the movie as Part 1 and Part 2 split over two discs, and they don't even have PCM. Blu-ray is one disc with PCM.
HD DVD: Audio DD+ only. Order of the Phoenix to be a 2-disc edition.
Blu-ray: Audio DD and PCM (English). Order of the Phoenix to be single-disc but include same contents as DVD and HD DVD.
How much longer do we have to pretend the format with greater disc capacity isn't better?
