Question Wall-E on blu ray

Just bought Wall-E on bluray today and noticed that its only in DTS and not TrueHD. Just wondered if you can buy it with TrueHD sound?

'Only' ?

It's DTS HD-MA - arguably the best possible quality you can get apart from uncompressed LPCM.

Its actually DTS-MA-HD and its 6.1 too, although it doesnt say it on the package when you play it it will say DTS MA HD and its 6.1

Re: Wall-E on blu ray

Only say DTS that all on the back no mention of DTS HD MA. Unless those yellow and red rings at the side of it mean anything. Will know tomorrow when I play it. My amp displays the format
