i got the 2-disc LE exclusive to amazon.UK, it has both 5.1 dd & dts audio tracks.......& boy, its video transfer is jaw-dropping even on a 47-inch widescreen TV, it is incredibly clear & prestine, similar to my Kill Bill Twin Pack LE Japan release...... Cool

nope, i think the 4th disc contains more documentaries or extras, here's the specs as posted at dvdanswers:


# Four-Disc Deluxe Collector's Edition
# Includes the 2-disc Special Edition plus more than three hours of never-before-seen material:
# Over 45 Minutes of New Deleted Footage: Jack fighting for his life, the passionate kiss you never saw, and Jack and Rose in their final moments together, this is just a sampling of over 45 minutes of new deleted scenes made available for the first time. Each scene is state of the art, with the effects finished to match the special effects in the theatrical feature
# Production and Special Effects Featurettes: with this selection of featurettes, take an insiders look at James Cameron in action. Get a better understanding of what goes on behind-the-scenes of a major movie production.  Experience the building of the “TITANIC” studio and film set from the ground up. Dissect scenes.  Dive to the wreckage of the actual ship. View the film crew’s personal video footage and much more
# 'Breaking New Ground': this TV special shows that there is much more to TITANIC than you ever imagined. Watch the monumental efforts that went into creating this film, beginning with building a studio just for the production of TITANIC through to its changing of industry standards, and breaking industry records
# 'The Heart of the Ocean':  HBO’s First Look TV special takes a look at TITANIC before it became the largest floating vessel of the worldwide box-office that we know today
# Three TITANIC Parodies: watch as the biggest film of all-time is spoofed in these three pieces
# Trailers: a selection of trailers, including some never-before-aired or shown



sir hemisphere, i think the highlighted in red are the contents of the 4th disc...... Cool

sorry, i can't give you the exact figures right now coz i can't access my account info w/ amazon.UK (will post it later), parang down ata ang site nila......basta di masyadong mahal ang shipping if you buy multiple titles & wala naman tax dito sa cebu Grin.......don't buy the non-LE edition of HOFD coz it doesn't have a dts track...... Cool
