Default Warner finally starting to show preference towards Blu-ray?

It's finally starting to look like Warner is beginning to see the advantages that blu-ray has with its higher capacity

When checking out highdefdigest latest review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix there are a couple of noticable differences between the blu-ray version and the HD DVD version.

First of all the blu-ray comes on a BD50 disc, and while they have probably used the same VC-1 encode for the movie, only the blu-ray version gets all the extras in 1080p HD while the HD DVD version gets the same extras in standard-def video. Also, the blu-ray version gets an additional "44-minute TV special" that's not included (probably didn't fit) on the HD DVD version Not only that, but the blu-ray version also get an uncompressed PCM audio track and A LOT of different foreign audio tracks compared to the HD DVD version. Yes, the HD DVD version has some slight advantages as well with the IME PiP and web stuff, but first that's nothing compared to 1080p extras, and second that is sure to change soon too now that profile 1.1 titles are starting to appear...

Combine this with the latest Warner BOGO sale on Amazon (only for blu-ray), and it's starting to look more and more like Warner is getting ready to say I DO BLU
