Added special features, looks like it's still there

The original release has a DTS track right? Too bad it's missing in this release.

[boredfilmmaker]

wasn't the previous release non-anamorphic? this release would be an upgrade..

[seph1018]

I guess it's time to sell my old one...

[RNIverson]

Up for grabs, the $125 Ultimate Collector's Edition

        The actual packaging of this Ultimate Collector's Edition is keeping us in suspense!
