The previous 3-disc set has 5.1 audio.

remastered? Hmmm the previous release was already remastered.

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

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.
