I agree that it's something they say, but it doesn't make it completely false just because they say it. If the disc has good compression then it wouldn't need to fully utilize the extra bit-rate. I'm all for having the extra capacity, but I figure with technology improving the compression on these discs should just get better and better. Now I have no idea whether S3 has good compression or not I just don't think we can judge the PQ on bit-rate alone. Like I was saying before 2001 has low bit-rates and it looks great and even Troy has some lower bit-rates and it also has great PQ. I'll give it to you that FOX has put out some amazing discs with great PQ and high bit-rates, but 28 Weeks Later has a higher bit-rate than FF4: ROTSS and most people would say FF4 has the better PQ. I don't think it's as easy as reading the bit-rate on your PS3.
