on the second one check on the product details.

Really it didn't sound harse at all ... as I'm one of the few that is able to enjoy the movies that have not been released on DB. Frankly I am not disappointed on supporting both formats ... as I currently own 78 HD DVD and 121 Blu-Ray.

Wow! Nice amount of HD titles there.

Amazon says the same thing for Blu-ray (MLP Lossless is TrueHD)

They don't say anything for audio on DVDTown for the Blu-ray version.

Looks like we're 2 for 2 on matching stats.

I think DrinkMore should be applauded for his honesty.

He has come here and said that his preference for HD-DVD over Blu-ray is because he doesn't like Sony rather than trying to insult our intelligence by claiming that HD-DVD compares favourably to Blu-ray.

I reckon 95% of HD-DVD fanboys are such because they don't like Sony, however most won't admit that. DrinkMore has. Good on him for his honesty I say.....

Furthermore when you hear the hype on the various High Def forums, there seems to be much more pro HD-DVD than pro Blu-ray. However when you look at sales, Blu-ray is killing HD-DVD. What that tells me is that it costs nothing to act out your bias against Sony on a forum, but when it comes to putting your hand in your pocket and buying into one format or the other, many of the pro-HD-DVD brigade are suddenly found wanting. The ones who do buy into Hd-DVD are either people who've been suckered by the hype or who want to (can afford to) support there personal bias financially.

When a movie comes out on both formats I always get it on DB than HD... but I just can't seem to make up my mind on Planet Earth. I guess I'll make a choice at Best Buy tomorrow when I buy it. Unless someone can change my mind here... as long as it isn't the usual reply of "because DB is better".

Personally, I don't care to extend this format war any longer than is absolutely necessary. By buying the losing format's version, you (and of course others) are helping to extend it's lifespan. So, I guess it comes down to whether you are fighting for the good of everyone or just yourself. I hope that didn't sound harsh, but it's just the truth.

The Truth is he posted that false info in this forum here 30 hours ago in the middle of the night and his post was replied to with THE TRUTH 20 hours ago but aparently even tho we have a thread or two with CORRECT info on Planet Earth some people seem to keep posting INCORRECT info from other sites and do it w/o checking or listening to what is said on this one...
