Somebody on the Criterion forums has done a brief review. Sounds like MGM has finally done right by this film.

Looks like I am double dipping. Maybe even considering selling my Criterion DVD.

Hopefully I'm wrong about this.

Hmmmmm cant decide. I love Robo, but have the trilogy set (even had the original snapper set also) but DTS would be nice. Hmmmmm

Glad to see MGM finally came through with a decent release for Sgt. Murphy 
Quick question - So if I sell off my Trilogy set and pick up the Steelbook + stand alone copy Robocop 2, I won't be losing anything?

I picked it up today at a Wal Mart. (Whitby, Ontario for $14.83 Canadian dollars)
A WEEK early, too. Glad to see that the Canadian bilingual garbage label is only an add-on paper label and not part of the steelbook case.
EDIT:
THEY ROYALLY SCREWED UP!
Both discs are EXACTLY THE SAME, even though they have different labels! Both are disc 1 of the set...Stupid canadian-made crap!
