The Robots in the City chapter was my LFE demo for a long time.

I remember playing it before I built my theater. I was watching it with the audio gear I was collecting for the theater, so I had a big SVS sub sitting in the living room. When the robots walked, their footfalls rattled stuff on the mantle, the floor vibrated and it gave the impression they were just outside.
Good Stuff.

Paramount reissued a group of BRs and this was one of them. I read that these were from the initial batch they pulled off shelves when they bailed out on BR back then and now they are reissuing those previously pulled releases. Same thing, nothing changed from what I have read.

According to the Amazon image they did bother to change the front cover slightly.
Probably just a coincidence, but the re-release date of Disturbia now with movie cash roughly coincides with the overseas release that has TrueHD unlike the domestic.
Hmm...

The "new" cover, the one on amazon, is the cover paramount used before they pulled the titles. The ones after they went Blu again omitted the little border. So you're probably right.
On the other hand Paramount might be making new SKUs to pair these with Movie Cash for GI Joe.

That's going to be one hell of a demo disc, the movie doesn't look bad either.
Sky Captain + Lossless = me buying this, uneven, film again for the 4th or 5th time.

Why are you all saying it'll have lossless when it's clearly the same old release?
There are two different encodes of this. The HD DVD was VC-1 while the BD is MPEG2. On my system I couldn't distinguish between them. Theoretically they could utilize the VC-1 encode for a new BD (not sure there's anything to be gained PQ-wise, though).
(Both versions had DD 5.1 and DTS-HD 5.1.)
Still, I find it unlikely that Paramount will quietly remaster the BD for a new release. We'd have heard about it.

There is a different encode of this in Japan. Maybe you should pick that one up. Lossless.

IMDB says 1.85:1: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0346156/technical
As does DVDCompare: http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparison....php?fid=10011
And that's how I remember it. Wider would not have that retro look, although neither does 1.85...
