Yup, first, I found out that R3 Taiwanese and HK editions will have it, then Koreans will have it, plus the Gift Set that rivals that of R1, then even R2 Uk will have a Lion King with DTS (DEHT mix)
What is wrong with the management at R1 Disney? Why do I have to order DVDs from other regions just to get the dts track?

Perhaps they are trying to maximize the video bit rate? This disc looks to be awfully packed, with multiple versions of the movie all crammed onto one platter. That strategy didn't work out so well for their Beauty & the Beast disc, which has significant compression artifacting. Throwing a DTS track on top of all that just eat up a lot of space and likely kill the picture quality.

If you look at the Korean R3 DVD details, you'll notice that it is missing the audio commentary, as well as the French DD5.1 track and second English DD5.1 track. That probably freed up enough space for the DTS track.

Castor Troy, a regular poster on DVDFile, has the r2 already and says it has no dts. Also, Amazon.co.uk lists only the dd 5.1 and commentary, Play.com list only the dd 5.1 and commentary, CDwow.com's r2 site lists only the dd 5.1 and the commentary... no dts mentioned anywhere. Looks like they dropped it.

The Dutch version will also feature dts sound.
I got the press-release a couple of weeks ago and it stated dts.
If everything goes well I will get the chance to see the dvd within a couple of weeks at a presentation.

The 7th and 9th shots show a foreign language (possibly Thai?)
