Ruined fair enough,
Your right, that Microsoft comment was uncalled for.
You seem to think that because something is on paper it materializes 100% in the real world. Sorry but both the initial batch of TrueHD & LPCM tracks offered clearly sounded different from one another. As I said the first title which offered both, the edge went to TrueHD. BTW, have you seen the TrueHD trailer? It spikes well past 11mbps at 7.1 channels & is the loudest/clearest thing i've heard. You know like dts & dolby trailers where all channels get a workout while when select the film its nowhere near as nice.
Stomp the Yard, (great movie btw.

) is the first title I was referring to where the TrueHD track edges out the LPCM & not because of 4db increase in volume. The actual mix is different, so don't be putting 100% faith in studio's claim you are getting the true master because they say so.
AS for the PS3 comments, they come directly at your comparisons to the BD-50 vs. the PS3.
Here is my contribution in dollar signs,
21960 (732 titles)
2350 (4 HD DVD devises)
650 (Ps3)
