HD-DVD Doesn't Have Enough Space For High-Res Audio

[Delusional]

I don't have xbox and I do have PS3 now. HD DVD is something I prefer because of the interactivities. Many people argue it's not important but for many, they are (thats' why there are limited editions or special 2 disc edition dvds). Anyways, with the Transformers audio, not very many people in the world or in North America (one of the biggest market) have equipment suitable to even deal with uncompressed TrueHD or PCM audio. For cheaper manufacturing costs to give the most accepted spec for the majority will offer greater profit margins. Yes, replication costs are almost the same, but what about set up, initial investment, licensing, batching, and most importantly, YIELD? If HD DVD goes away, all the money BD is losing will come back from us consumers when they have full control of the market. If that happens where BD is only player in town, they will lax on their specs but start charging a lot more to "make of for the loss".

Format war is good because it drives down price. Bad for early adopters in case the one they chose lose, but great for overall mass consumers. Release of Transformers made BDA to counter it by offering Buy 1 get 1 free, resulting in bluray discs for 12 bucks each. Great steal for consumers now. I hope they keep at it.
