I just bought the new Streisand DualDisc "Guilty". The cd side is a regular cd side. The DVD side is once again 48k/16bit PCM.?. Then I got to thinking... is the cd side also considered PCM. If so, then what is the point. It seems that Sony has completely given up on 5.1 (oh... except for the upcoming Roger Waters opera).
This was a HUGE missed opportunity on the part of Sony not to include some sort of 5.1 mix. It is way beyond me that they can see fit to make a 7 disc set of War Of The Worlds but they can't give us a 5.1 remix of Guilty. By the way... the video extras on the DVD side.... not worth even putting on. A 3 minute interview with Babs and Barry in which they basically kiss each others ass. 2 live tracks in stereo and an excerpt for the upcoming album. What a waste....
Bottom line... I bought it anyway... what a moron!!!
