That is not my point. Clearly, when there is no choice but to buy a DVD then there's no choice. But where the choice is available, to justify the purchase of the DVD over the Blu "cus DVD is good enough" is at best, naive or disingenuous and at worst delusional.

plus stupid studios cannot agree on a minimum quality level for new releases . My latest 2 discs were 'Chris Botti in Boston ' ( Dolby True 7.1 ) and the excellent German film ' Sophie Scholl ' in 2-channel PCM .

Those issues plague all consumer formats and are not a weakness specific to blu.

I regularly come across reviews over at highdefdigest.com which point out deficiencies in video quality on new releases . To imply that BD always delivers is misleading at the very least though I'm sure , Mark , you have a Master List of Reference discs somewhere wink

See above. But the fact remains that a screwed up blu release will still outperform the same DVD. I'm not aware of ANY release where the DVD is universally reviewed as better...?
