So what they really win in this war after that???? 

The battle is not over... The "source" I have that keeps feeding me HD DVD news non-stop... and it seems (until today) there will be new titles as far as June 2008... with the official title of something "special" in May...  Can't for that title.

he sure does..
Well another studio down. Maybe I was right? Blu ray is just better. HD will die a slow death. It's what I predicted a year ago. Now with Warner's down for the count with Blu Ray. That makes it easier for Wal-Mart to push Blu Ray. And whatever Wal-Mart pushes - wins. Hd better start giving out those $120 million dollars checks to stay alive. Maybe they can give me some so I can give it to my Make-A-Wish charity, just to shut me up. Have faith people Transformers will come out in Blu-ray one day!

admit it,mate..you got owned

i dont really know what difference in terms of interactivity between these 2 format?

about DRM, isn't both also offer the same level of copy-protection?

Yup, the quality is the same but the larger storage really make the difference...as it, why you only get the DD sound on Transformer and not lossless audio? ........ because it does not have enough storage space for the lossless audio track!!!

If HD DVD start the game with a 3 layer 51GB disc...it would be a total different game....

My guess is that if data is unaltered, direct through HDMI shouldn't be any different. Any difference will be from any sharpening or other enhancement features  from the player or the LCD-TV itself.

Like I said previously, those DVD players make use of their visual enhancement features for better quality picture. This is especially important since ordinary DVD players are designed for output via  analog cables where PQ degrades in quality according to the type of cable used.

Even upscaling players with HDMI need those enhancements (not because of the cable quality) but due to artifacts arising from the upscaling. Since the original pic at 480 is upscaled to 720 or 1080 it need a lot of help in terms of sharpening, contrast, noise reduction etc and also a good upscaling Chip.

But for HD sources like Blu-ray or HD-DVD , there is mininum enhancement required because the pic itself is already in the same High resolution format as the highest resolution LCD panel. And furthermore data delivered over HDMI won't degrade in PQ since it's digital signal.

So my guess is there won't be much enhancement needed  for Blu-ray player as far as PQ is concerned. Whatever differences noticed will most probably be due to the adjustments of the LCD-TV itself.

But at higher price, those stand alone players probably have better parts like lens and electronic components that last longer and also better built in support for TrueHD sound.

But that's just my general impression so I could be wrong. I don't mind being corrected 

That's true but the issue here is Transformers on HDDVD only had Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 and not Dolby TrueHD due to space constraint.

Yes, the ahem DTS volume always cranked up.
