GAMES FESTA: PSP Game in Dolby 5.1?

No photographs=take pictures please

"I heard that Monster Hunter Portable is the first PSP game with Dolby 5.1 sound," I say.
The dude in a yellow Capcom jacket leans forward. "What are you asking?"
"Is that true?"
"Are you asking if it has 5.1?"
"Yes."

Dude in yellow Capcom jacket motions for me to wait and slinks off to talk to another dude in a yellow Capcom jacket. That dude has a moustache. Dude I was talking to doesn't.

I look over at the Pioneer wireless headphones, sitting in the kiosk. Nobody's using them. I look back at the two Capcom guys, and the dude with a moustache is eyeing me as he tells the other something. My guy weaves his way back.

"It's not 5.1," he says.
"What are the headphones for?"
"It's just regular Dolby."
Really? The little bird that told me seems to be a reliable source. Unless he or I am mistaken, I somehow don't entirely believe this guy in a yellow jacket.
"Thank you," I say and walk away.
