But it doesn't say it on the back...plus it's from Australia.

This doesn't help...much.

This is where one needs to have some extra bit of patience. I have contacted the retailers to learn more about the re-issue. amazon.co.jp is suddenly displaying 2 versions of SR [Blu-ray] that probably implies some kind of unreported re-issue of the BD.

If there's no discernable difference between the two, then how would you know?

Another confirmation about the re-issue.

I gave up trying to look for the TrueHD one on ebay.

Every time I'd ask a seller about the audio, they'd reply back:

"Not sure what you mean but the disc looks great and plays better then DvD's and is in great great great condition."

Honestly...what is that??? "Great great great condition." Is that like...code for Balls out or something??? They are all lunk heads.

lgans316, just let us know. I will definitely want to pick this up if it has the lossless audio tracks available.

Oddly to those of us not down under, Australia is a very good source for info since they have actual laws against region specific content and players. I scan Bestbuy every trip hoping they have might accidentally sneaked a lossless version in.

Edit P.S. (sarcasm) It comes from being populated by criminals from England. Imagine, today, if you could get sentenced to Sydney for the theft of milk: would you do it? HELL YES!

I find it's a lot easier when you have the PCM version.
I can watch the first ten minutes and then the plane scene no problem.

In fact, I can just watch the DC Comics logo bit a few times too.

I'm glad a few more of you are finally getting the PCM version. It's so much better than the regular DD version.

Yeah its as about as difficult as ordering from Amazon.
You just have to wait an extra few days.

Total: AUD $27.44 incl shipping (around US $25 - acceptable when the eBay bulls are charging $80+)

I placed the order today and received the below emails.

Hi,

I have checked your copy of Blu Ray Superman Returns Special Edition and it does feature the PCM & Dolby True HD Audio Track.

************************************************** *

The following item(s) from your order were shipped today:
Blu-ray Disc - Superman Returns Special Edition

************************************************** *

WB have re-issued Training Day in Japan. Would be great if they had featured Dolby True HD track which was present on the HD DVD. Btw all versions of Training Day on Blu-ray is VC-1 encoded except the U.S version which is encoded using low bit rate MPEG-2.

Anyone have an extra copy out there for superman returns with pcm sound that they are willing to sell, let me know. I will pay for the disc and shipping of course... send a private message if you have one. Please confirm the audio before mailing since I already have the dolby digital version.
