Comments:	What can you say?, the differences are quite obvious. Even if you take away the fact that in the first release the image was cropped ( see captures 3, 4 and 5 ), just the extras alone in the new release would sell you on this version. The new image is pretty perfect, but not quite 100%. The 5.1 soundtrack is probably the most improved aspect. It is better in every sense from the old release, certainly brighter, sharper and true-er colors. Not much to write about as this is a no-brainer.Buy today - Gary W. Tooze
