Can anyone verify that this disk does contain a DTS ES soundtrack?

I was assured by the retailer that it did - most websites advertise this fact. Unfortunately the box only indicates DTS & a quick trial confirms this - no ES.

Also, it should be 2 discs. Mine is a double sided disc - Region 1. Does anyone have ES & two discs?

Since you're asking, it's a great film.

As far as I can tell The Pianist in r1 is DTS 5.1 surround.
Check out the backcover for this release :

Amazon.com actually list it as DTS ES. cd-wow confirmed this. Also, electrictown review suggested it has ES.

so does anyone know if the Canadian disc is also ES?
I don't have the equipment anyway so might just go for the canadian as it has more extras.

cheers, shaun. I was wondering if it would ever surface.
I didn't think the soundtrack was that phenomenal. but if it's only 3quid more than the 2DVDset I'l get it.
cheers

mine arrived from play today.
its canadian version DTS (not ES).. 2disk edition
widescreen 16:9 (not sure whether its anamorphic but it
fills the screen)

only just had a quick blast through the chapters
and cant say the picture transfer looks that great.
it certainly didnt jump out at me.

i watched this movie on the big screen
and its a worthy buy. very good.

I received the 1 disc version from CD-Wow, though it was sold as 2 disc. I emailed them and they replied PDQ saying that was all they had, offered a refund and would amend the website (which they have). Good service from CD-Wow as always.
