Has anyone else seen this Chaplin DVD collection?

I was at Best Buy and saw, under comedy, a 8 DVD Charlie Chaplin Collection. Only $16.99, this set looks to have the most short films in one set out of all the Chaplin sets I've seen. Over 58 short films on 8 dvds. The cool thing is, they come in the really cool ultra slim cases seen in box sets like Futurama.

The weird thing that caught my eye was that it said 5.1 audio.

What the...???

Why in God's name would you need 5.1 audio for a music track? These films don't have any talking or sound effects.

Anyways, I haven't looked at the quality of the picture yet. I figured it can't be worse then the Madacy releases. Plus, got that all important 5.1 audio!!

Here's a link if you want to check it out. It's made by Platinum.

Ever heard of DVD-Audio? There's lots of music-only material out there in 5.1.

(Not saying that this will be of that level of quality... I'm sure it'll actually sound like shit. But 5.1 music isn't a strange thing.)
