New Saving Private Ryan DVD Question (1 Viewer)

[Harold Wazzu]

I'm with you. If I had the DD version then I'd get the newer version but the DTS version is just fine for me.

 

[Ken Kool]

does anyone know any review regarding this dvd yet?

 

[Anthony Neilson]

Can't see any yet.

It looks very like the only way to get the new edition with DTS is to buy the collector's set. So I'd need to know more about the quality and duration of the extras before considering a double-dip on this one.

From DVD-Plus, a Canadian online retailer... http://www.dvd-plus.com/catalog_deta...recordno=20804

I called and confirmed. There are two different versions that are available in Canada. The English version has both DD & dts 5.1.

Any reviews on this bad boy yet? With a little over a week to go, I'm surprised nobody has gotten their hands on a copy.

I received the 2-DVD set yesterday. Unless there are two separate 60th Anniversary editions out there, the film does NOT have a DTS track (this is the US R1 version). Only English and French DD 5.1 tracks.

 

[Stefan Pedersen]

Could you please review the extras. Thanks!

 

[Julian Lalor]

Extras aren't much to speak of. A 20-minute making of, a couple of 5-10 minute featurettes and essays on events depicted in the movie. All in all, not really worth the upgrade, particularly, if like me, you were primarily after the DTS track. Nice case, though.

 

[Anthony Neilson]

As far as I can gather, the DTS track is EXCLUSIVE to the box set that also includes the two WWII documentaries.

There are only two versions available ; the two-disc set with 5.1 and the French track, and the Box set.

I've seen no evidence that there is a third set, consisting of the two-disc with DTS.

What a rip-off.

Why would Spielberg go for that? He has a stake in DTS, right. The more discs that go out with DTS, the more he stands to make, right? Most of his films are available with a DTS track, that you don't have to buy as part of a boxed set. What's the point, just to sucker people into buying a boxed set?

 

[Justin Bauer]

Sorry if this has been covered, but I completely forgot about this release and now I am pumped.

I have the original DD release, so I am looking to get the DTS of the new one.

From what I gather, the DTS is only on the Collector's Set. What is the difference between the Collector's Set and the 2 Disc?

 

[Ken Kool]

it has the Saving Private Ryan (DTS Edition), Shooting War & Price for Peace.

im glad that i ordered the World War II Collection Set, but Universal sucks

I don't believe this to be the case. It is my understanding, and I could be wrong, that DTS liceneses their encoders out to the studios. I don't think the studios pay a per title fee, they merely pay the licensing fee for the encoder. It is then at the studios discretion as to which titles get DTS tracks.

 

[WillG]

Still, it is odd that Spielberg is going for this. This is one guy who could dictate how his films are release.

 

[greg_t]

Maybe he has other projects he is working on and isn't involved in all aspects of the dvd production and promotion.

 

[Justin Bauer]

I like the look of the packaging of this set.

Is the case metal or plastic...or is it just a picture of an ammo box?
