Troy Directors Cut - which one to get? BD or HD-DVD

Just wondering if there's any obvious reason to choose the BD or the HD-DVD version of this movie?

I choose BD simply because I use the 360 and PS3 for my hi-def movie goodness and although my 360 isn't that bad, my PS3 is silent.

HD DVD- the red boxes go with the cover art better

I think the only difference is the blu-ray has PCM and the HD DVD TrueHD they are both lossless so pretty much irrelvent, buy whichever format you prefer.

Re: Troy Directors Cut - which one to get? BD or HD-DVD

I ordered the HD DVD then cancelled it for the Blu-ray.
Why?
Because with the HD DVD I can't get HD sound from my 360 but I can with my PS3.

Re: Troy Directors Cut - which one to get? BD or HD-DVD

Thanks all, it seems that apart from sound formats, they are identical

As my PS3 will output 1080p, and my Tosh HD-DVD only 1080i (both over component connection, as my projector has no HDMI input), I'm going for BD
