I guess they forgot about the higher bit-rates and wider studio/manufacturer support.

Also, Dolby Digital HD is not mandatory for HD DVDs considering most HD DVDs have DVD audio. There are much more Blu-ray movies with HD sound than there are HD DVD movies (usually because the HD DVD doesnt have enough room).

Seriously though, is amazon being paid to do all this or is there webmeister an HD DVD fanboy?

You need to look at the specs. This is not for a disc but for the format. And yes TrueHD is mandatory for HD DVD players to decode, but here is the catch that is only requires 2.0.

And what you keep getting with your orders is called an advertisment and HD DVD is spending money to send on to you on every order. So what you donot want Amazon to accept money from them?
