Blood Diamond HD DVD vs. Blu-Ray - same exact VC-1 stream stored on both the HD DVD and BD versions. However, on the PS3 there is significantly more artifacting than on the Toshiba.

My guess is that the PS3 is failing to implement the VC-1 post-processing code which knocks out the types of artifacts he saw on his Playstation 3. I believe that the first version of WinDVD that supported HD/BD had this same limitation.
