Well that's a start. Unfortunately for me I didn't care for this movie. Glad to hear some nice comments about the BD though.

I really enjoyed the Punisher...

Much better than the Dolf Lungren version.

Im still not impressed. so they cut out the hd audio and used more room for video. Big deal. I can get good video over dishnetwork. Where is the hd audio? Im not touching blu-ray until they start using 50G dl disks or better compression for video AND audio.

uncompressed audio is great, I think complaining about the fact that they used Dolby Digital Surround EX and DTS-ES 6.1 to make room for better PQ IMO is kind of rough, I commend Lionsgate for doin so. I am happy with DTS-ES and it should sound better on a BR player output via 6channel analong letting the player do the conversion than a standard DVD player over opti/coax. Yes, i'd like to see uncompressed audio too, but not at the expense of PQ.

So, Sony...if your listening...we want 50gb DL and VC-1 like yesterday & ALL DISCS TO HAVE PCM 5.1 LOSSLESS as standard!
we are spoiled and it hasn't even been a month yet. We want our cake and eat it too dammit!!!

Personally, I doubt you'll ever see Sony ship disks encoded with VC-1. It's a Microsoft developed technology. I'd guess Sony is bothered enough that they will have to include VC-1 capability in every one of its players (include, I would suppose, the PS3). I would expect Sony to use either MPEG2 or MPEG 4 Part 10 (aka AVC or H.264).

As an aside -- just think, Microsoft is very likely getting royalties on every PS3 sold. Anyone able to actually confirm or deny this?

I'm not sure there getting royalties for the decoder, i'll try to find out. I liked the punisher a lot it was a very good movie.
