I'm so glad Blu-ray won and not HD-DVD

I would rather take my chances on lossless, then trust the engineers did an outstanding job on a lossy track.

I always like to check the reviews of any disc. The audio nerds at HDD are pretty good about highlighting good tracks. If the engineers had put time into the FMJ sound track -- I am confident that it would have sounds great. But that takes time and costs money. It still boggles my mind that they spent neither -- they take the time to reissue the movie after the first BluRay/HD FMJ disc issued sucked (and was widely panned) -- and then only put out a marginally better product.
