    Default opinion needed: Best BD Demo Disc

    I want to show off my system to friends, but find it annoying having to find specific scenes from movies.

    In your opinion(s) what is the best demo disc in BD, for both video and sound.

    Preferably available from known retailers like amazon.

    Terrible movie, but that scene is A-Mazing in 7.1.

    3:10 to Yuma! Sounds amazing 7.1 Uncompressed PCM and Consistent picture all throughout! I believe this disk is a definite contender to the Pirates Franchise.

    I have yet to try and play a DTS-HD track.

    I have a ps3 with a Sony's STRDG910 7.1 HDMI Receiver

    I assume the ps3 will output the DTS-HD into PCM? I am still getting the HD audio, correct?
