Dolby Digital on BD, Dolby Digital Plus on HD DVD

Warner Bros. - No Lossless audio on all newer movies means no purchase from me!
That goes for all studios!

While I agree I wouldn't go that far. I doubt RisingSun Warner are listening to you ;)

I'm more concerned about the lack of extras, is that it? Where are "all" the DVD extras?

Updated with HD DVD artwork and more confirmed extras. Seems like the press release only featured highlights from the extra features section of the discs, as there are a lot more now.

Will be getting the BLU version.

As to the comment about no loseless...the Blu version of Harry Potter will offer loseless audio.
