Can anyone explain why we get skimped on audio?

Good question. I think it's really because Warner and Paramount don't want Blu-ray to run away with the race. Look at The Departed. Also, keep in mind Warner and Paramount were originally exclusive to HD DVD so in a way I guess they feel Blu-ray has to be thankful for any crap they may dish out. Though in my opinion the differences aren't usually as substantial as we sometimes make them appear.
