The previous 3-disc set has 5.1 audio.

I wonder if this will contain the same transfer or if it is really re-remastered.

Post by: techdude on Jun 24, 2009 at 12:12 AM: I am very happy with the old version, and I doubt if the new transfer will be worth the price. If ever I;ll buy, it's will be for the Bluray.
