PQ/SQ was the biggest reason I became a blu-ray fan.

A world of video bitrate-starved, mediocre Universal and Warner releases on 30G discs was not my idea of HD media heaven. "Bourne Ultimatum" and "Transformers" turned out to be pretty good transfers but these were the exception in my meager HD DVD collection.

Audio-wise, lossless/uncompressed PCM was 2D4. This is the main reason my HD DVD collection is limited; not enough desirable movies with lossless/uncompressed audio tracks. Also, the possibility of 5.1 24/96 PCM (or higher), high-def music videos was far more likely with Blu-ray because of HD DVD's bandwidth limitations.
