"Unfortunately, the reality (i.e. the actual products) don't quite match up to the hype yet."

That statement applies more for HD DVD then it does for Blu-Ray. Blu-Ray is delivering on PQ/SQ. HD DVD is NOT delivering on the lossless audio for the most part. What's more, lossless audio is a freebie, I don't expect Sony, Disney or Fox to stop delivering stellar PQ/SQ because the format makes it easy to do it. And just as easy than Universal and Warner's indifferent non-efforts to put lossy audio and indifferent video encodes on HD DVD releases.
