Just found out today there's a new disc coming out in two short weeks. Can't seem to get alot of concrete info on it. First off, will it still have the sweet DTS track? Also, is it two discs or one (conflicting info there)? Does it contain the unrated director's cut stuff as well? Finally, is it a new transfer or the same as the original release?
Yep... The big difference is going to be the free ticket for the Chronicles of Riddick. Still debating this purchase myself. I liked Pitch Black and dont own it, just dont know if its something I *want* to own.
Well I bought it. It was $17.99 and included the movie ticket which I need anyway. That knocks the price down to $7.99. I traded in my pitch black dvd to EB for $4.00, so the dvd ended up costing me just $3.99. Good deal and a shiny new box for my trouble. The transfer is identical on my monitor and the DTS track is the same as well.
It is a DTS-ES matrixed 5.1 track without the proper flag to auto-engage ES matrix decoding on compatible receivers and pre-amps. You have to force the decoder into ES mode.
Did they make the movie any better by updating the script with better dialogue and making Vin act better? If not, I'll pass on this release like I WISH I had the first one. Anyone wanna buy this POS?
