"...HD-DVD just isn't nearly as sharp and clear as blu-ray..."

or it's the movies you were watching... I.e. Another way of looking at it is: In general, the production values of studios releasing Blu-ray is typically higher than that of studios releasing HD DVD disks. This is how I interpret the arguments that the picture "softness" seen on HD DVD is in the master or in indifferent video encoding, not a result of HD DVD's typically lower video bitrates.

I'll blame the shoddy picture quality of early Blu-ray titles to growing pains learning how to execute video encodes to take full advantage of HD media (that and the early use of MPEG-2 encoding).
