Ok, in this thread, Mr George makes this statement:

One correction, DTS ES Discrete is not a theatrical format, which is why there are so few ES Discrete discs. A discrete 6.1 master must be created specifically for DVD and that is not an inexpensive proposition. Besides, ES Discrete has not proved to be any better at reproducing back channel sound than EX or ES so almost no one is willing to put any more money into something that does not yield any real benefit. There isn't even any appreciable marketing benefit as with DTS 5.1, because there are so few ES Discrete decoders out there.
I think this might be changing as I found this.

I wonder if this will start happening in the US.

Peace...
