All include Dolby Digital Plus soundtracks, no word on any additional extras.

Glad to see universal doing Dolby TrueHD tracks. I hope the rumors are true about toshiba enabling TrueHD 5.1 in a upcoming firmware update....

They really need to step up the releases. HD-DVD should have been released with 100 movies minimum available. It's just sad to see such a pathetic launch and the slow slow trickle of 2-4 movies more each week. Looks like the same thing is going to happen with Blu-ray also :P
