Amazon's High-Def 101 Questioned

[FilliamHMuffman]

It's interesting to me that for features like Internet connectivity, it is listed as mandatory for HD DVD and optional for Blu-ray. Yet when comparing resolution, it only states that both support 1080p, with no caveat that 1080p is standard in all Blu-ray players but supported in only some HD DVD players. It even lists features like the lack of region coding for HD DVD (why is Amazon encouraging shoppers to import discs), but doesn't mention Blu-ray's advantage in peak bitrates. Looks like something the HD DVD group wrote up and paid Amazon to put on their site. The acknowledgement that Blu-ray discs are higher capacity is probably there only to make it less obvious how biased the chart is.
