most disturbing here i read "audio gets a bump as well: up to 640Kbps for Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks, same as Blu-ray."

ok so technically, that's not a lie: DD 5.1 on blu is up to 640k ( i think), but it definitely paints a false impression in peoples mind that DD is all blu has to offer.

let me know if this was already posted and i'll delete.

actually, iirc dd can actually go to 1.5 Mbps but is commonly at 640

It's DTS that can go 1.5; garden-variety DD tops out at 640/kbp/s on BD.

I just emailed the Ben Patterson with the proper information since his article is misleading... Anyway I just hate when statements like these are made!

Kind of like saying, the new Festiva goes as fast as a Ferrari at 60 mph!

I don't think it was misleading at all.

And I just went back to the article and he corrected the statement!
