The bit rates for DD+ go up to 6mpbs while TrueHD goes to 18+mbps. Not only that but TrueHD is lossless compressed and 24bit/96khz sampled, unlike the 20/44 that Blu-Ray used for it's uncompressed LPCM tracks. TrueHD does quite a bit more with less space, which should be another kick to the teeth to those staunchly supporting BD at the moment.
I'm sure the BD camp will get it's crap together eventually and we'll see similar results with their movies/soundtracks but until we do man does HD-DVD make BD look like the biggest waste of money ever or what?
