Granted, my DVD collection isn't exactly huge, but I've got a 6.1 system, and the only DVDs that I own that maximize it are the Lord of the Rings extended editions, and I love the sound.

Are there many other titles that utilize the DTS ES 6.1, or am I just not looking hard enough?

Can any of you recommend good discs to give me more 6.1 bang for my home theater buck?

Blade II has DTS 6.1 ES & DD 6.1 EX

Gladiator, Se7en, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), Blade II, Stargate: UE, The Haunting (crappy new version).

I have a question. To those with the extra 6th speaker, can you really tell a difference? I may be interested in upgrade. But it looks like the number of titles supported just isn't justified for the upgrade.

You can check out the official DTS site, which is kept quite current. This page lets you see what titles in different regions with different DTS formats are available:

I definitely find it to be a noticeable difference. It adds effect, my wife seems to jump everytime some loud noise comes out of that back center speaker.

now just because it doesn't say dts 6.1 es, doesn't mean it doesn't have it.

Ditto for DD 5.1 EX.

Here's a link to where you can buy tons of Dts titles for really cheap prices. There's even a couple of Dts-Es dvds there too.

not supposed to shill for your stuff, even if its from this forum

i always use this thread.

There are plenty of regular 5.1 discs that happen to decode well into a center rear channel. The DTS edition of Akira sounds great from all the back speakers.

I think the new Running Man SE also is 6.1ES DTS

Just this week we get Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Final Countdown (pretty much wasted on this one).

House Of The Dead is Dts-Es Discrete too I believe.
