Bargai or NOT a Bargain
HI
Dont be misled.
I bought the triple gift pack - Road to Perdition - thought it was a bargain at the price
At home l played it and there was not the choice of the DTS soundtrack though clearly stated in the films credits.
You obviously get what you pay for - to me this was not a bargain. I wrongly assumed I was getting the FULL picture
It would appear what you get is a watered down version.
For those of you into sound - BE WARY
regards

As is, this post might be moved to the Store Forum if we knew what store / e-tailer you purchased this item from.
Also, have you tried to return it?
Or is that no longer an option?

Having DTS on the movie's credits means the film may have had DTS available for playback in the theater. It has no bearing on whether DTS was used for sound on the DVD.

There is a DVD release of Road to Perdition in DTS, it is pretty clearly marked on the top front of the cover.

DVD Talk Gold Edition
Sounds like a "Bargai" to me
I think your question/comment has been answered. Always check the back of DVD, on-line specs, dvdcompare.net (or equivalent), and perhaps a DVDTalk review (if it's not a pre-order...or sometimes even if it is a pre-order).
P.S. Welcome to the forum. Also, You may want to be a little more descriptive in your thread titles.

Here's the DVDTalk review of the Road to Perdition DTS version. You can check out the packaging at the upper right-hand corner and read to see if it is worth the hassle to hunt it down.

Sorry Lads - In the U.K.
Bought at Music-Z
For £6.97 = $12
3 Film Gift Pack
Millers Crossing
Road to Perdition
The Funeral
Bought at Xmas
For that price coldnt be bothered to take it back
Costs £6 travel/parking
You say check the text on the boxes
Have you seen the size of some of them
You need more than a magnifying glass to read them
And its made more difficult with the subdued lighting
