Don't know if this is important to you or not, but I believe the US Paramount HD-DVD may only have DD+ on it. Over here in the UK, distribution lies with Warner who will release on Blu + HD-DVD and it seems that both will be getting TrueHD... It's a bit later than the Paramount US release, and the UK HD-DVD is three weeks behind the BD, but, it may be worth waiting if you'd prefer a TrueHD soundtrack.

is it worth it just to see angelina jolie in 3d | It won't be in 3D. It was only 3D on digital 3D screens or Imax

US release, according to High-Def Digest (Dolby TrueHD confirmed by MovieTyme) Quote:
They've now confirmed the release and issued full specs, which include a full second disc of extras. In addition to a never-before-seen Director's Cut, the set includes a 16-part documentary "The Making of 'Beowulf,'" plus a dozen Deleted & Alternate Scenes. All of the bonus content will also be presented in full HD.
Exclusive to the HD DVD will be additional web-enabled content still to be announced.
Tech specs boast 1080p/VC-1 video and Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround audio, plus optional Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 Surround dubs and subtitles in English, French and Spanish.
| So £17.98 for the Warner Home Video UK single disc from Amazon or £17.99 for the Paramount 2 disc director's cut three weeks earlier  | |

The early information indicated the US version would have TrueHD and then images of the back cover showed it only has DD+. So the UK are getting it with TrueHD, which is the reverse of Bourne Ultimatum. I was hoping HD DVD wouldn't be like the varied feature sets of DVD.

Overseas distribution rights is held by Warner. But expect Warner to use VC-1.
