>> Can hold and does hold are two different things. If in the end, the discs released have the same codecs, remastering and level of content and in an A/B comparison you can't tell a Blu-ray release from the same movie released on an HD-DVD, then the 20 gigs of 'warehouse' space doesn't mean zip; you can put that in your zip-file and smoke it! <<

You have unwittingly hit upon another reason that hd dvd is bad news: the fact that studios releasing both formats are producing the content for HD DVD and simply porting it over to blu-ray. In other words, your camp is dumbing down content for everyone and screwing the consumer out of the best possible product. But hey, what do you care. You don't even think audio quality is important.
