So I rented "Shoot em up" on blu-ray which I thought was a pretty fun movie. But as I was watching the movie I noticed the audio wasn't working for me. Turns out the only audio option is DTS-MA 7.1 and I can't decode it so I was stuck in 2 ch audio track for my movie. What the heck? Here I have a really nice picture with crap sound. And I really don't feel like upgrading my receiver just yet, but what is the point if most of the new movies I rent are on blu-ray and don't have standard 5.1/7.1 audio tracks due to DTS-MA 7.1 taking up a lot of the disc space (This is an assumption, I'm not sure why only one track was on the disc).

Frustrating.

    On movies that didnt make a lot they cut corner in the DVD process usually buy not providing all the usual audio options.
