So I believe that within the next month or so, we'll see if BD can finally catch up with HD-DVD on the picture quality front.

When these titles release, hopefully they will blow the PQ of the Sony BDs and Sony will get the message that they need to change something and change it fast.

Paramount just informed me that they will be switching to MPEG2 for their BD releases, citing Sony's lab only using MPEG 2 as the reason why.
