It's kinda sad that American Gangster was supposed to be a premier release for HD-DVD yet they couldn't even put a hi-res audio track on it! Where's the TrueHD Audio??

=================================================================
If it ends up being another 'reference' audio track without TrueHD (as Transformers did) then what's the big deal?
The ill-informed spec-sheet jockeys mightn't like it but if Dolby Digital Plus is done right & there is no actual audible difference (which, you know, is only what Dolby say.....but what would they know with their professional sound stage kit etc etc, right?) the why would anyone cry about this?
(and before the issue of space is brought up Transformers had 5gbs space on the disc, there was room on the disc for Dolby TrueHD, it would just have been pointless)

Worse than the audio, the gimped HD DVD only has the extended version on the DVD side.
Doesn't matter now... better off just buying/renting the DVD until the BLU version comes out.
