Hey, will the UE 5th E have FULL bitrate DTS?
By the way, the commentary on the UK SE version probably isn't that interesting as it is done by the special effects crew. I also hear the UK SE's pic quality is inferior.

I'll wait and see on Leon and see how great everything really pans out to be.
The Fifth Element ... not a chance - the superbit is wonderful and I don't care much for most featurettes. Heck, the Superbit looks so good there is a chance they might even muck up the new one ...

I just picked up the SB of the fifth element and also have the R2 SE so, I'll pass. I have the SB of Leon as well but depending on what extras are included, I may get that. What can i say, I just love jean Reno.

So I have the German R2 version of Fifth Element. Do you think the extras on the new one will be better? Other than having one extra that's in German, I really liked the load of extras on the R2.
Any thoughts?

Am I reading into this review correctly: the audio on this newest release is exactly the same as the Superbit and the uncorrected International release. So the only version worth owning would be the corrected International release except the picture quality on that release would not be as good as the Superbit or this newest release.
Is there any other site that might have a more definite answer on whether the audio mix on this release is the corrected version?

I'm still pretty excited about this release. Even if the DTS track is defective, which still hasn't been verified, I'll just stick to DD 5.1. It's not a highly aggressive track like Spidey 2, which warrants a DTS track. I still don't own the international release edition, but I'd gladly double dip on this one.

From the review, it sounds like it. Also I read at HTF that it states Superbit on the back of the case, which would mean that the first disc is likely the Superbit release, which had the messed up sound mix.
I'll keep my corrected Leon and 5th Element: Superbit.

WRONG.
The DD5.1 is messed up too. It's not just the DTS track. This doesn't solve your problem.

Sounds quite a poor dvd set 
after all the waiting and that all we get! pretty crap all round really for all the time I have waited, will stick with my Korean and old R1 editions as its a waste of time again after about 9 versions.

Plus, for trailer fans, the trailer for LEON is not on the LEON disc. However, oddly, the LEON trailer is on the FIFTH ELEMENT disc.
