Most of the material where movies are available on both formats (i.e. Warner) also use the exact same encodes so you'd expect the picture quality to be the same. Yes, PQ on HD DVD can be very good (or very mediocre) and likewise with Blu-ray. But I find the 50G Fox/Sony/Disney releases consistently have better picture than Universal/Warner releases. This is not inconsistent with the finding of the wouldbe HD movie reviewers on various websites. YMMV.
Have you had the chance to play around with lossless/uncompressed audio yet ? This is the more obvious differentiator IMHO.
