So what your saying is BR a year and a half later is on par or marginally better than HD. It's amazing that BR has a storage & bit rate advantage yet HD gives you identical or almost identical PQ with a lower bit rate and more features with less storage. The DD+ track on Transformers "which HiDef Digest gave a 5"wasn't an issue for me as it has the best AQ I've ever heard on HD. I did get the best video/audio quality of Transformers because I got it on HD and not Dvd like you.

 

It's a shame that the video scores given for Transformers wasn't 100% compared to the Silver Surfer (see below):

Site	Transformers HD DVD Video Score	Silver Surfer BD Video Score
DVDTOWN	8.0	10.0
DVDfile	9.0	10.0
HiDef Digest	9.0	9.0
AV Forum	9.0	10.0
Average	8.75	9.75

Maybe they used more of the space on the HDDVD disc for audio thus reduced the space for the video?

Too bad 99% of the people will see both films and see a great picture in both but then see that HD is $200 Vs. BR $400 and buy the HD player. Maybe they used more of the space for extra features like web-enabled features so the customer has more incentive to upgrade to HD.
