When dts released their quarterly earnings, they also announced a new focus - solely on their consumer market. They have sold both their Digital Cinema business (closed on My 9th for $3.3 million) and Digital Images (on April 4th for $7.5 million). dts could earn up to $11.7 million in "additional consideration" over the next few years based on the terms of the Digital Cinema sale. What was most interesting about the announcement was that dts is continuing it's mantra of "focusing on the consumer market." Apparently that means getting completely out of the traditional theater and focusing on home theaters.
Discuss "dts to Switch Focus to Consumers" here. Read the article.
Yeah, now that we have DTS-MA internal decoders, it's all good.
Home theater is where all the money is. Now it's time to sit back and enjoy all the HD sounds (DTS-MA, TrueHD, and PCM). Life is good.
Have you checked out Live Free Of Die Hard in dts-ma yet? If not, that should be all it takes to convince people why everyone should be getting excited about uncompressed audio.

Ooh, yeah, I need to check that out tonight. I checked out "I, Robot" DTS-MA last night and it was great.
I've been a DTS fan over Dolby for years. DTS seems more punchy in overall sound and adds a bit more bas. But honestly I'm not sure of that's a utero effect of having read that DTS acheives that since it records at higher frequencies than Dolby or if it's legitimate superior sounds that I hear. I did read an article where a side by side DTS vs Dolby "blind test" (the listeners did nt know which format they were listening to) and the results were no audiable differences in quality sound. I'm still a DTS fan and wants to see their success. I'd even like DTS to take over Dolby but I know that won't happen.

No doubt that's a superb movie to test sound with...
Oh, goodness gracious. Okay, last night I watched DH4 DTSMA again. It was indeed wonderful. Afterwards, I saw Independence Day DTSMA. It was CRAZY. It blew DH4 away! It made Transformers sound like MONO 1.0.
Guess what movie will be going in my blockbuster online queue next
Of course there is a long wait for it... BB needs to step up and add more copies of blu ray discs now that the format war is over, also add more blu rays to thier in store selection which would also help push the format into more homes. They have a nice looking 42" Sony 1080p tv with a ps3 playing blu ray movies where you walk in, so hopefully that will get more people on the blu bandwagon.
