Black Hawk Down SE Announced June 3rd

Andy Kramer · 03-09-2003, 10:34 PM

Hi
I had heard back when the bare bones copy of black hawk down came out, that there would be a follow up SE DVD (chances are 2 discs with more sound options). Personally i love DVD and i always pick up the SE Version of movies i already own. And i would just love to see this wonderful sounding movie get the love of DTS. But the movie itself deserves a 2-disc treatment. Plus who is to argue some deleted scenes?????!!! Anyone know anything if it is coming out or if it got canned like my all time fav did the other day?

.

Thanks
Andy

The SE is rumored to be 3 discs, with deleted scenes, without DTS, and released sometime in early summer (maybe June). Nothing official though.

This should be in software by the way.

yeah, i had no inclination to buying BHD when it came out because they said that there would be a SE coming out...since then i haven't hear anything about it, i would like to know of a link to somewhere that says something of it.
this thread in software yet?should

the european r2 version of this dvd is a 2 disc set. Not sure on the extras on the disc, but it is dolby digital 5.1 (there is no DTS version available that I know of). I think i will be purchasing it myself now that the price has dropped down to £10.

We don't have the specs for the European three disc set, but noticably absent here is a DTS track. Extra features are great and all, but DTS will single-handedly sell more copies of this set!

No dts?

Peace Out~

DTS soen't concern me, as the DD soundtrack on the first release is widely hailed as among the very best.

Continuing from the closed thread...

Ron-P, I understand your position, but I can tell you that the extra are top-notch quality (I own the R2 set).
I bet this 3-DVD set will be one of the finalists for best DVD all-around presentation (picture, sound and extras) comes the end of the year...

Vincent, I am sure they are good extras, but I rarely, very, very rarely watch extras. I never watch making of stuff nor do I watch commentaries. So there is nothing to justify a re-purchase. The dts track was the only reason I would have bought the SE.

Peace Out~
