I know somebody else asked this, but no one has responded so far.

I have both versions sitting next to me right now: The 2-disc purchased today from Best Buy (for $14.95 with the K-Mart AD) and the 3-disc ordered from Deep Discount DVD back in September. I just received it today.

ONE of these sets is going back so I don't want to open either one yet until I get more opinions.

I guess I'll just hang out an lurk for a while until I do.

Neither of the movies are DTS. The box says the 2002 version is DD 5.1 and DTS; and the 1982 version is just DD 5.1

Even the DVD for the '02 version has the DTS logo- but the movie is DD 5.1 w/no DTS when I pop it in to my player.

Aside from this the box set will make a nice addition to my collection. It comes with a CD of the soundtrack and a hardbound copy of the screenplay as well. I'm a big fan of the movie, and I'll probably pick up the 2-disc set so I can get the DTS version.

All this waiting, and Universal really botched this up...
I've just tested both the 2002 special edition and 1982 theatrical cut that were included in the Ultimate Gift Set and only the 2002 SE has dts surround. Which matches the technical specs on the back cover insert of the gift set.

The 1982 theatrical cut has Dolby Digital 5.1 surround in English, Spanish, and French.

For those who have both editions, are there any differences in content between the discs featuring the 1982 theatrical cut in the 2-disc SE and Ultimate Gift Set?

Aside from the omission of dts surround in the Ultimate Gift Set.
