>>>It's not that you ever disputed it; it's that you have open disdain for the blockbusters as if it's not tied in at all to what you want.<<<
I have an open disdain for most blockbusters, I'll admit it. My wife likes them a bit, but I could do without seeing 90+% of them.

>>>But those newer ones are all available in NA, so it's a nonissue.<<<
So anything that doesn't effect you personally doesn't count? BTW, there are Blu-ray discs coming out in Europe, that aren't here.

>>>Nope. DolbyTruHD involves an algorithm that compresses the code and requires less space on the disc. They may market it as lossless, but lossless PCM is different.<<<
The difference is that uncompressed PCM takes up more space. Both are lossless.

>>>The point I am trying to get across is that greater disc capacity will let you have better quality.<<<
That's an assumption, not a given.
