>>>You should be asking why the vast majority of HD DVDs do not include lossless/uncompressed audio tracks...<<<
It was originally more for financial reasons than technical. They have since changed their mind.
>>>In contrast, the Blu-ray exclusive studios are now releasing almost every Blu-ray movie with lossless/uncompressed audio.<<<
Actually, since September, almost all of the HD DVDs are lossess too now. That old BD *whine* doesn't cut it any more.
>>>, you can always blame the "inferior" PQ/SQ (collective assessment of a large survey of movie reviews by multiple reviewers)<<<
They must be different reviewers from the ones I read. I have yet to see any advantage of BD-as a whole, they don't look any better than HD DVD.
