So the inferior vs superior because of "extras" argument is very weak.

What utter tosh. If you don't think that you pay for extra features on a DVD, HD-DVD or Blu-ray, then you are completely deluding yourself.

I'm not. I've only been a BD owner for a week now. An HD-DVD owner for about double that. So I really am learning the ropes, and until I just did a search here on "shilling", it meant nothing to me. And I can assure you that I'm just an HD fan who is perhaps a little opinionated. Certainly not on anyone's payroll - if only!!!

The fact of the matter is that I have both formats, am pretty much format neutral with a small leaning towards BD. I just love HD quality, hence "Best of Both Worlds".

I wouldn't know. And frankly, I care even less.
