I forgot all about this one. Agreed the new Remaster definitely look better. Nice one thanks Salty.
What the audio options? How does the new DD5.1 Remix compare? I presume the DTS is the old remix? You can see pictures of the packaging here:

It's a keep case inside a slip-case.

I'm there, one more extra but much more importantly finally a proper Scarface 5.1 experience + as shown above an improved transfer:

How much did you pay for it Salty and from where?
The cheapest is £12 from DVD Pacific which is a bit pricey but I'm not waiting on this one so will get it regardless.
Reviews:Finally making it's debut on DVD, the new audio comes in much stronger than the previous version. The sound effects have been redone with a fury, especially the hundreds of gunshots. The bass is booming and the film's music sounds great.

Nope. If you want as near to the original mix as possible you'll need to pick up the UK R2 or R4 original 1 disc DVD.EvaUnit02 wrote:Hey Sam, the original sound mix present in any form on the R1 Platinum

My DVD finally arrived today, almost a month after ordering it.
Like Reservoir Dogs it's the DVD they should've released originally and 3rd time lucky they got it right.
The previous SE looked almost identical to the original 1 discs DVD (I don't think it was remastered at all) and the 5.1 tracks were also almost identical to the DD4.0 Surround on the original disc.
This time however it looks LOADS better and has a stonking new 5.1 soundtrack. The new effect sound a "little" out of place but crucially don't sound harsh or over the top, they fit in well.
Comparing the gun fight at the end you now hear not just lots more gunfire form the rears but the fronts are more focused too. The old 5.1 soundtracks also sound really shrill in comparison.
If you detest new sound effects or remixes in Stereo material get the original 1 disc DVD otherwise this new SE is the way to go.
