Which review are you referring to?

Gaga makes it pretty clear that there is a TrueHD track by the following points:

- Back cover states it as 1st audio track (though you need to read Japanese to read the Dolby part - TrueHD 5.1 is written with western glyphs)
- There is a Dolby TrueHD "trading card" included in the package (one of the photos in my original post)
- There is a Dolby TrueHD intro on the disc before the movie
- There's a Dolby TrueHD insert leaflet in the package that explains about various audio setups etc.

DD+ track is included as 2nd English audio track on the disc. I could also verify on my PC with PowerDVD 7.3 and WinDVD9 but it seems pretty certain already from those points. Gaga advertises TrueHD quite actively with their releases.

I think the European Warner release has a 640 Kbps DD+ track only. TrueHD track is only on this Japanese release.

The review on this site. It says the Japanese release has 1.5mbps DD+ and the UK has 640kbps DD+.

Doh! I'm an idiot. I read the UK review on here and it linked to another review. I just saw Japanese, but it was to The Brothers Grimm, not The Prestige.

Thanks for the help.

So is this completely out of stock?
