If you're willing to put up with 3/3.5 PQ/AQ for most releases to get the occasional HD DVD title that matches Blu-ray's fairly common level of quality, then HD DVD is your format.

Thank you! I 100% agree. And I think the only reason some people are puting it down is because it's HD DVD. Granted, given HD DVD's track record, it's a pretty unimpressive format, but still. I am still 100% Blu, but this title was impressive, no matter how you cut it. Would it be more impressive on Blu? There's no way of knowing so it's pointless to even discuss it. But an amazing soundtrack won an award for amazing sound. That's all there is to it.
