Yeah, I took the bait on buy one Disney movie, get the 2nd at $10 off.

"Ratatouille" was quite good with pretty good use of surround sound. In fact, the sound makes "Transformers" sound muddy in comparison (despite the awesome wham, kablooie effects). "Cars" is in the queue but I've got quite a few movies to work through.

I'm not surprised the LG and Toshiba would be in the same league PQ-wise for HD DVD. Both manufacturers are not considered amongst the best for electronic products.

PQ/SQ is largely determined by the movie content itself. SQ is definitely to Blu-ray's advantage; the vast majority of my Blu-rays have lossless/uncompressed audio tracks which have been consistently superior to most of the lossy audio tracks I'm forced to listen to on most of the HD DVDs. The edge with PQ is less clear though even the very best HD DVDs don't have quite the "pop" of the more recent Sony/Fox/Disney 50G offerings. But that's all subjective and I'm always finding something wrong with almost every release. YMMV.
