I wanna know why people are saying Sony. I picked Warner because of the movies they have and are going to have, and their prices are the cheapest, last I checked Sony still rips you off and Disney is doing well, but still they need to start putting out their Pixar movies in Blu.

Most people are saying Sony for the same reason that Sound & Vision picked Sony. While Warner Bros. might arguably have a better catalog of movies (and I would agree with that), they've been hit and miss with their Blu-Ray releases. Most of Sony's BD titles have very high bitrates, and have PCM and/or Loseless audio tracks. Warner Bros. for the most part released titles for Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, and encoded the movies to maximum space that HD-DVD permitted, which means a lower video bitrate, and often only Dolby Digital tracks, rather than TrueHD or DTS HD Master. Batman Begins, which came out on HD-DVD about a year earlier than the Blu-Ray, had the same video encode for both, even though they had a year and an extra 10 or 20 gigs for the Blu-Ray.

And then there are titles like Speed Racer, which was a very recent Blu-Ray only release, and only had a Dolby Digital track.

Because they haven't bothered to watch any Universal titles yet.

Lessons learned during HD DVD have made for outstanding Blu-Ray releases.

Menu UI that works on every title
DTS-MA for everything
