It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.

Actually Whomod, some, if not most, of that's bullshit. Sorry.

All this tells us is that you picked a blog that emphasizes HD-DVD's specific cases of superiority (but as I said: it's compromised). It doesn't actually tell us that one format's better over another, it just said that the developers put more love in care into making one disk over another.

The real question here is: Do you honestly believe that a Blu-Ray disc is simply incapable of producing better or equal sound and audio?
