Think I`ll do the same - should get a tenner for Predator on the auctions.

No really, I mean what is the point of buying it again and more importantly wasting time telling us that you`re going to buy it again just for DTS sound and a longer cut? Fine for us who don`t already own the film then it`d be a bargin, as it stands you`ve paid more than you would have done had you bought it in HMV by buying it twice.

You need to take a deep look at yourself, will listening to the film in DTS make you a better person? Will seeing some extra gore really add to the enjoyment of the film?

There will always be bigger and better things to buy, new versions, new formats, Will you ever be satisfied with the film? The fact is that money would have been better spent on a new film you`d never seen before giving you brain something to stimulate it, rather than spoon feeding it the same old rubbish only at a higher frequency.

Fine buy a film twice just for extras, just as long as you understand that you`re partly responsible for hollywood churning out the same rubbish and thereby suffocating the movie industry.

My oh my, some people really are never staisfied are they?

Would you buy the film AGAIN if it came out with 6.1 EX sound just so you could experience the soundtrack from a more immersive angle? Why can`t you just be satisfied with what you`ve got.

Stop living in the past my friend. I agree with Sidney J - what is the point of buying the same film just for DTS sound, believe me you won`t notice much of a difference unless you have a setup which could truly allow you fully appreciate the difference, which I doubt you do from your attitude in these postings. Instead why not try to broaden your film horizons and spend the cash on something you haven`t seen yet. Become a more knowledgeable film viewer instead of some bum who just like Arnie films (fatally flawed ones at that).

Don`t you realise that by buying this film again you`ll just be playing into the hands of the "suits" who dictate not only which bands hit the number one slot, which films gross the most at the box office and which lifestyles and social mentalities are the most suitable for the era in which they rule?

By buying this film again, you my friend, will become a pawn in a game the scale of which you will evidently have no capability to recognise.

Kid Brunch and Sidney Messburger are missing the point. Yes, the end of the film will ultimately be the same, but the refinements available through ever evolving technology allow for a more `immersive angle` - surely you replaced your old Iron Maiden LPs with CDs eventually. No doubt Brunch and Messburger still watch Betamax.

I bet the root of this is that you haven`t got a DTS amp so your just bitter......

DTS is better Sid - it will make you happy - I can tell the difference, so I`m doing it.
Anyway why do you give a s*** what we do with our money.......
I got the Predator box set for about £15 - can sell the first disc for a tenner no bother and replace it witrh a superior DTS version for feck all - will probably make a profit.

Is it because you want to attain such an `immersive angle` I`ve seen you running about the woods of a weekend covered in mud thinking you`ll be safe from the predator?

You`ve got to ask yourself the question "for who`s benefit are these advances?"

You obviously do not understand the differences between Dolby digital and DTS as you compare the technologies to LP and CD. (i.e. analogue to digital!). For your benefit therefore I`d say they`re slight at best. Not worth rebuying a film for.

As for the betamax coment, I had a Panasonic A100 when you were still looking in HMV thinking "24.99 for a film on CD?"

Fecker, I had a DTS laserdisc and now I have a DTS dvd player, and a 6.1 surround amp. However I`d never toss about rebuying and selling titles just so I could get closer to "what the director intended me to see/hear".

Directors ultimately intend their films to be seen in cinemas (although that may change).

Regardless of whether you sell or keep Predator, it`s the movie company that has ultimately won. It has sold two versions of the same film. They`ll keep sh@#ting on the public like this while the public let them. Just look at how many DTS discs are available in the uk.
