It's too late, auph.
I adopted blu-ray because it has superior capacity.
You adopted HD DVD because it was cheaper.
It's as simple as that.
You're as much a fanboy as I am, so the more you call me one, the more you show yourself to be one. If HD DVD provided 20 gigs more capacity than blu-ray, you can bet your last buck I'd have adopted HD DVD. But that ain't the case, is it.
You adopted the format that could not accomodate lossless PCM with a quality video codec plus reasonable extra features, and therefore you chose based on price, not quality. And here you are on the audio asylum, with the word audio as part of your moniker. One might get the impression you care about audio quality. Do you? Then why is lossless PCM a complete nonissue for you in these HD movies?
And the "no strings attached" mentality is idiotic. You have voted with your dollars and that vote is for the lower-capacity format that cannot accomodate lossless PCM. Thankfully, most early adopters did a better job on their homework than you did.
Your excuses are poor and your insults are silly and already really old.
