I have the old release of this wonderful movie but Im contemplating on getting the 50th anniversary 2 disc edition. Is it worth it to spend the extra money in terms of sound quality and picture quality and extras?
Saving Private Ryan. Is it worth the upgrade?

Private Ryan SE
My brother purchased the 50th edition region 4 and the sound (DTS) was poor IMO compared to the Region1 which was much better for P & S. The bass was just too boomy on the region 4 and I was expecting the picture to be better and it wasn't on my display. I'm sure the extras are better and thats the reason for getting the new one. I hope this isn't the same for you Region 1 owners.- Bottom

I had a original DVD release and later upgraded to a DTS edition. I'm not sure if 50th anniversary edition has DTS tracks, but I can definitely say that the DTS edition was better than the original Dolby Digital 5.1. I don't think they did any video remastering since the original release. I just bought a DTS edition off of eBay since DTS edition is hard to find at common retail stores.Victory Shall Be Mine!!! :heh:- Bottom

The region 1 50th anniversary that is out now DOES NOT HAVE DTS unless you buy the $39 boxset.
Buying this movie w/o DTS is not a good idea. The sound difference is dramatic.- Bottom

Another strange turn of events where Australia gets DTS over the US release. I can honestly say that the Region 4 DTS 50th Anniversary is not as good as the Region 1 DTS track. Thanks for the info Shane
I will say this much: If you have heard the DTS DVD, You pretty much know how good the DD Laserdisc is. It's VERY VERY SIMILAR. And it appears from what I understand there were atleast 3 different mixes.- Bottom
