The releases won't be identical in BD and HD DVD:
The HD DVD version will have audio DD+ only. Order of the Phoenix to be a 2-disc edition which will contain the same bonus as the DVD two-disc edition. The other four will be single-disc editions.

The Blu-ray version will have audio DD and PCM (English). Order of the Phoenix to be single-disc but include same contents as DVD and HD DVD.

Of course the above (including audio and separate releases) might be different in the US, but there you go.

Warner is not really known for changing releases much for different markets (besides language tracks, of course), so I'll bet what you've told us will probably end up being what we here in the US receive as well. Very glad to see that they went with PCM Lossless like they did with 300. Take that HD-DUD!

Thank you much for the info!
