It doesn't look like it from what I read at DVD empire, but I don't know for sure. No back cover yet.

Amazon is listing a DTS ES track; looks like I'm going to break down and get it.

So does anyone know for sure that it has the DTS track? I might dump the original release for it then.

A little addendum: the new widescreen is the unrated director's cut and has the DTS track. The new fullscreen is a regular copy and only has DD.

Seems like the disc is pretty much the same as the old one with a few new features to promote RIDDICK... not going to upgrade.

Why? The first release has a DTS track as well... probably the same one!

The new Unrated widescreen DVD's movie is exactly the same as the old Unrated DVD's movie - the only difference between that DVD and this one is in the bonus material...

I'll have a review up for this in the next week...it's on my "to do" list for DVD TALK.

For the additional special features. But, from what I read, it doesn't seem worth it anyway.

For questions about specific features, please post in the main DVD Talk Forum. You'll probably get better responses there, anyway. Thanks.

Moving thread.

It looks like this has been answered, but I'll add that I have my copy, it has DTS.

Don't forget there is also free movie cash for the upcoming sequel. The new cover art does suck.

I don't know what you're talking about. I think the new cover art is awesome.

Not to mention the game TCOR: Butcher Bay. I was very grrrr! with the features. I don't know why I thought they were going to be more than fluff jobs. The Johns Journal thing could be cool though (I haven't listened to them yet).

In my opinion, no. I upgraded, but I did not even get the free movie ticket. The only bonus feature that was worth watching was Johns' Chase Log. Everything else is just a very short promo.

why didn't you get the ticket? it was included with all the new releases no?

what is the Johns' Chase log all about? it says it leads to the opening scene. Can you explain?

I do not know why there was no ticket in my DVD. I got it sealed from Columbia House. I emailed Universal and they responded asking a few questions, but I have not heard back from them.

Johns' Chase Log is a 16-entry segment narrated by Cole Hauser on his chase for Riddick, ending with them boarding the ship. It is just has a little back story from the time Riddick escapes until when he arrives on the ship.

Here is a review of the new DVD that I found:

I read a few sub par reviews on Amazon as well regarding the extras. They all average only a few minutes in length.

Posted a review today...I broke the extras down into what's new (exclusive to this release), what's old (what was also on the last release) and what's missing (on the first release, but not this one) to help everyone with their purchasing decision:
