There are significant jumps in audio quality with the higher bit rates. Not quite as dramatic as going from CD to SACD or 24/96 DVD-A, but after you get used to uncompressed PCM audio tracks with 8-10X the sampling rate of your typical DD soundtracks, you don't want to go back.

The PQ with HD-DVD and Blu-Ray represent significant improvements over upsampled DVD movies. That was the first thing I confirmed when I auditioned a PS3 player on a 720p display.

if I didn't have the itch to collect movies, I wouldn't have paid the "early adopter penalty"; that moratorium on movie collecting (because DVD is becoming "passe") had to end some time. The release of "Casino Royale" on Blu-Ray helped push me over the edge.
