Fine, but unimportant in the grand scheme of things

I tried translating that web page using Google's language tools, but it still wasn't too clear to me whether there would be an actual quality difference between the HD DVD and Blu-Ray soundtracks? If B-D does indeed get the better soundtrack, that's probably the version I'll buy, otherwise, eh, whatever.

But honestly, we who argue over these sorts of details are a tiny minority, and there probably aren't enough of us to sustain the high def movie business: High-def disk players really need to go mainstream. How's about a distinctive and stylish player that's HDMI-only, hence impossible to set up wrong or less than optimally? Include the cable and a good movie in the box, and get it into the hands of new TV buyers: Let the first thing they watch on their new set be a good movie in all it's 1080p glory, and I think you'll get new converts. I always thought Apple was really smart with their first DVD-equipped iMac computers: They included a copy of "A Bug's Life" in the box, and that was a wonderful way to get folks immediately excited about the technology.
