Arew Atmos and DTS:X Being Deliberately Held Back From Ordinary Blu-Rays?

[Benedict_Arnold]

The number of Atmos and DTS:X encoded "old fashioned'" 1080p blu-rays seems to be even smaller than the number of UHD blu-rays out there, even now. And many of those that are out there, seem to be "Diamond Luxe" or some such ball-cocks double-the-price "special editions", not the regular BDs. Gravity being a case in point.

Could this be a "cunning plan" to "encourage" us all to upgrade to UHD BDPs and buy more expensive UHD BDs to boost the movie studio and retailer profits?? I think WHF should do some proper journalism and find out....

Yes, that seems to be the case. Studios are trying to increase the value of UHD blu rays over regular blu rays.

On the bright side the Samsung UHD BDP is now down to just 200 bucks at Bestbuy....

The standard blu-ray edition of "Jason Bourne" has DTS:X Master audio on it.

Game of Thrones Season 5 BDs have Atmos too.

Shame the dragons don't have jet engines or rotor blades.....
