I too sold my copies of the previous releases (CAPD and Patriot as I never did buy HFRO) and am looking forward to seeing these with an anamorphic transfer and DTS. Since I got one of them for free from buy.com way back when, and used a coupon from Reel.com way back when, I ended up making money off them :) Even if the picture quality isn't up to par with most newer releases, and improvement is an improvement. It's times like these that I'm glad I decided my new TV should have a 16x9 squeeze mode ;)

DVDFile also posted their Patriot games review. I don't imagine the video is gonna be a problem judging from their review.

I also was disappointed in the new HFRO image. I never had the first DVD, only the LD, but expected the SE picture quality to be lots better than the LD. It is better, but seems really soft to me, and colors muted. As has been stated, maybe that's the way the movie was made.

As for the audio, I think the DTS is more coherent and involving than the DD. Dialog is easier to pick up out of scenes with a lot of audio effects going on.

I also just watched the SE of Patriot Games, which I thought also seemed soft. The trailer is much sharper with way more vibrant colors. Again, though, maybe the original DVD was boosted up.

The DTS audio is superb, however.
