Color me surprised. I doubt we'll see this rolled out to many theaters at first (because they'd have to replace their processors), but at least now there will be actual 7.1 mixes done at the mixing stage instead of the retro-fitted 7.1 mixes we get on Blu-ray.

So for all those times I said that you'd probably never see 7.1 in the theater... I WAS WRONG! :D
Equipment list:
Onkyo TX-NR3010 9.2 AVR
Emotiva XPA-3 amp
Polk RTi70 mains, CSi40 center, RTi38 surrounds, RTi28 rears and heights
SVS 20-39CS+ subwoofer powered by Crown XLS1500
Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player
DarbeeVision DVP5000 video processor
Epson 8500UB 1080p projector
Elite Screens Sable 120" CineWhite screen

    Heh... I hear ya'! I just think it's good because now Blu-rays will actually have an honest-to-God 7.1 track determined by the original mixer instead of a tacked on 7.1 track made from the 5.1 source.
