Black Hawk Down was the only title worth buying.

WTF!Go read any format Vs format comparison and without exception the quality on bluray is inferior to what HD is currently giving.A lot of it has to do with BD using s**tty MPEG2 compression while HD is using the new made-for HD system instead.

To get the quality even close to HD-DVD, sony have to throw a s**t ton more bandwidth at their cruddy MPEG2 encrusted movies.That bandwidth takes up space, even though they could just use a read HD codec and have even better quality in 1/2 the space. They won't do this of course, as they get more royalties from MPEG2 as someone mentioned above.Remember, Sony don't give a damn about what is best or creating a solid product; they just want to create a perpetual licensing situation where they can just sit back and watch the money roll in.Whats the ONLY mainstream format they ever did well with? The floppy disk! Every other attempt at complete domination of a format has failed.

Apparently you never heard of Betacam. And CD and DVD are both half Sony's work.They do not get higher royalties from MPEG2.
