so did anyone get this one early and can confirm dts is only on the box set?

Yep, the 2 disc set only comes with DD, no DTS.

That sucks. I'm glad I've kept my SPR DTS version.

same length of time...???? if so, dont care...unless if it is anamorphic widescreen 2.35:1 and more added or extended or directo's cut version then I will get it other than im please with the one i've got.

I saw this at Entertainment Outlet in NYC if anyone is interested.

FYI announcing places that break street date is generally frowned upon and you've been around long enough to know that. It's not like it's specific to this title. The usual places break street date on all titles and i'm sure you've been living in NYC long enough to know that. Not really special either considering this isn't a first release film.

And for example...http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=365264

bump for other thread poster.

Deep discount DVD has DTS listed under the 2-disk set. So, is this incorrect??

Is everyone going by amazon.com's listing?

So if I understand your reasoning, it's ok to shop at these places, we just have to keep quiet about it. To quote your other thread,

"Everyone knows who breaks. Just keep yer damn mouth shut."

It's not like I'm posting that they have LOTR... this is a title that has already been released and will most likely only be picked up by collectors like the people on this forum. Everyone and their uncle already owns SPR. If the company in question wants to break street date, it's fair game IMHO. I think it is worth pointing out that one of the forum rules is

"Absolutley no...Anything aimed at defrauding or taking advantage of another company, exploiting flaws or weaknesses in their systems or sites"

Yet the Bargains forum has long been known to exploit pricing mistakes to the benefit of everyone here--and which I am sure you have taken advantage of. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

The bargain forums sometimes post mistakes.

it's HARDLY a mistake that people are putting stock out early. And no company is going to get in touble by a movie studio for accidentally pricing something wrong.

However, they WILL get in trouble for putting stuff out early.

And again, it's not like everyone in these forums (especially NYC members) doesn't know the places that break street date. Not only was your post redundant, it could possibly get that particular location in trouble because of what you're doing if they chose to investigate.

I'm not psychic. I don't know which places will break street date for certain titles, and I appreciate knowing about them if paying full price to have a title NOW is more important to me than waiting an extra five days and saving $15 on a title.

So by all means, post when a place breaks street date. Nowhere in the forum rules does it state that this is verboten.

OK cool. You go boy. Then when these places DON'T do it any more because someone decided to post it, don't complain. You've just ruined it for the rest of us.

It's not that difficult to find out where the places are that break street date. They do it regularly. If you see them doing it once, chances are they're doing it all the time (if it's not a well-known store). And again, if you're in NYC, i don't know ANYONE who doesn't know where to get a disc before street date. If you live here, you just know.

Damn, some people on this forum are really ****ing spoiled.

FYI, I got the 2-disc set a few days ago, and it most definitely does NOT have DTS.

anyone see any reviews also, is everything about the film presentation the exact same as the older version. (some say the transfer needs some work

any reviews of the disc?

No copies were sent out for reivews.

Sure they were--just not to web sites, apparently.

My DTS version is good enough for me.

If I want WWII documentaries, I'll watch the History Channel.

That's not really true. Video Business and Video Store Magazine both have reviews of the discs in this week's issue - TV Guide wrote a review, Entertainment Weekly, etc.

I guess most web sites weren't cool enough to get review copies, although this one did:

http://www.upcomingdiscs.com/dvd_rev...re=date_posted

The above review also states that the audio and video are exactly the same as the previous version.

I don't know if it's the same bitrate, though, and they didn't go into detail about compression artifacts which plagued the first release and may or may not affect this one.

I've got both the DTS version and the DD version with the documentary.

Might just stick with these.

at barnes & nobles website it states that the 2 disc sound is
DTS 5.1-Channel Surround Sound, Dolby Digital Stereo

for the 4 dics the sound is DTS 5.1-Channel Surround Sound, Dolby Digital Stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround


also here is info on documentary

Price for Peace


Reviews
From All Movie Guide
This riveting TV documentary was a joint effort between Hollywood superproducer Steven Spielberg, WWII historian Stephen E. Ambrose and director James Moll, the man responsible for the Oscar-winning Holocaust account Last Days. Concentrating on the final days of the War in the Pacific, from Iwo Jima to Hiroshima, Price for Peace offers reams of rare combat and mop-up footage (much of it in color), coupled with eyewitness interviews from both sides of the conflict. For every story provided by an American veteran of the war, there is an equally compelling story from a former member of the Japanese armed forces. Few of the battle and interview sequences have quite the emotional impact of those moments near the end of the film in which the former enemies tearfully embrace, offering mutual apologies, condolences and words of encouragement. Hosted by Tom Brokaw, Price for Peace made its first NBC network appearance on May 27, 2002. Hal Erickson

Shooting War


Reviews
From All Movie Guide
Actor Tom Hanks and producer-director Steven Spielberg, previously teamed for the epic WWII film Saving Private Ryan, again join forces for this two-hour ABC TV documentary celebrating the bravery and accomplishments of wartime combat photographers. Among those interviewed are Hollywood directors Richard Brooks and Russ Meyer, both of whom put in hard time filming the activities of American fighting men in Europe and the Pacific. Much of the footage shown herein -- the storming of Normandy beach on D-Day, the stomach-turning charnel of the Nazi death camps, the aerial shots of the first atomic bomb explosion over Hiroshima -- is familiar, but compelling nonetheless. Hanks serves as narrator for most of the program, while historian Stephen Ambrose takes over for the final sequences. Written by film critic Richard Schickel, Shooting War originally (and significantly) aired on December 7, 2000. Hal Erickson

:thumbsup: Agreed!

From the review linked above:

"What is strange about this new release is that, despite being a two-disc set, no DTS soundtrack is included. Given Spielberg's aggressive support of the format, the omission is doubly strange. In any case, the Dolby 5.1 track here still packs a wallop. "
