Of course 16 bit audio matters. This is just one of the biggest box office smashes ever. What in the hell are they thinking? 16 bit 44.1 khz is bearly CD quality sound. And whatever happened to bit for bit identical sound to the studio masters? one of the features they use to market Bluray. There should be a minimum 24 bit/ 96KHZ requirement for audio quality. This is more important than the damn AACS encryption, BD+ DRM crap that's a mandatory requirement on every disc.
Just goes to show the big movie companies don't care about quality. I hope the movie industry doesn't need a buyout next.

Er, that's exactly the specs for compact discs, and always has been!
