but dvdfile may be wrong about the DTS.
Look at what they had to say about the release
at the DigitalBits.....
Okay, here's the official press release. The announcement is mostly as we expected. One set, four discs. Street date 11/4. The set will be available in anamorphic widescreen and full frame versions. Retail will be roughly $49.99. The films will be mastered to THX standards, and will boast Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks. Extras will be in the 3 hour range, all on Disc Four, including a documentary, featurettes and interviews. No audio commentary. No DTS. Indiana Jones.com has a look at the packaging and a trailer. And there's another story on this at Yahoo. Here's a quote:
"The fourth disc explores every facet of how the films were made -- from stunts to visual effects to the music and sound," said Jim Ward, vp of marketing at Lucasfilm. "We take viewers around the world to explore the history behind the 'Indiana Jones' legends."
Honestly... we can't help but feel a little underwhelmed. Lucasfilm's made us wait so damn long for these films on DVD (along with another infamous trilogy), that the discs REALLY need to deliver big time. So the whole "less is more" approach seems a little puzzling. EACH of these films should have been given 2-disc treatment in our opinion. And, to us at least, the lack of commentary and DTS is immediately disappointing. Here at The Bits, we were hoping for something a little more special... something that was worth the 6+ years of waiting. The bar is so much higher these days for DVD special editions. So tell us, again, why this box couldn't have been released a few years ago, back when we might still have been impressed with a trio of bare-bones, movie-only discs and 3 hours of featurettes?
Anyway, we'll wait to see what surprises, if any, the set has in store. But even after this long-awaited announcement, aliens and Hobbits still hold far more interest for us on DVD in 2003...
They have a point, I suppose.
