I welcome the DTS HD choice. This is only going to be good for the longterm.
I understand why some in the minority would be unhappy if their early stage player cannot output that format, but it does offer Dolby Digital, so you are covered. More importantly, they chose quality, and to be honest, the vast majority of Blu-Ray consumers will be playing these discs on PS3's which is very DTS HD compatible.
Which the nice thing for PS3 owners is that it decodes DTS HD in the PS3, then outputs it as uncompressed PCM. so no matter what receiver / pre-amp you have, you get the DTS HD quality.

But if you have a 7.1 system, PS3 doesn't do you any favors.
