First, both camps talk about True Dolby and DTS HD and hardly any of the movies from both camps have these formats and if they do it’s in 2-channel form or they don’t have the internal or external processing for it yet. Don’t sell a player and have a different one out in only 6-months to trump the first ones. What about the people paying good money for stuff that shouldn’t be out yet until the product is ready? Why is Blu-ray putting any movies out yet? If your only presenter of your format is not up to par, than why bother? Don’t give me single layer Blu-ray and tell me this is the best. Sony says that MPEG-2 is superior if the bit rate is correct, so why release the early movies at a lower bit-rate? Please don’t release any movies that are compressed from the original. You know what’s going to happen, they are going to release the same movies again very soon with full bit rate dual-layer and all the audio options they talked about, so why buy now? Unless you like throwing away your money! Give me full bit rates on the movies if available and with all audio options w/HDMI1.3 capability. Also, are the original movies in the archives actually 1080p/24fps on MPEG-2? If so, why change them to VC-1. This would only cause problems with the originals because you’re changing the code from the original. Give me the original format that the movie is on and full bit-rate. If it is originally on VC-1 than give me that. I have spent too much money on things to throw it away in a year or two. I will wait until the correct product is out and the format has been declared.
