That kind of sucks - I'm glad they're making a commitment to use lossless audio codecs, but virtually every player has TrueHD decoding nowadays, but many fewer have DTS:HD MA decoders.
My "HDMI 1.3" Sharp Blu-ray Player can't even output bitstream audio.
I wonder if DTS MA offers the studios a better deal than TrueHD on licensing terms. Must be some reason they keep pushing this hard-to-decode format on all those discs. Yet another thing HD DVD did better: they had TrueHD as standard on all players.
