Is the R3's lack of the R1's DTS track worth it?

good film but i guess ill also just wait for it to go on sale. di ko na kaya bumili ng dvd na 750 up sumasakit ang puso ko pag nakita ko na na nakasale after a few months. minsan di ko pa napapanuod yung nabile ko naka sale price na.

So true bro...

It really depends how important the DTS track is, personally, to you. And the price difference, of course. 

I say this because I'm one who's happy with a DD 5.1 track, who doesn't really care about DTS.

Thanks, dude. I ask because I have the 2-disc copy of Casino Royale which has the DTS and DD tracks. The differences were night and day.

And you know what? I was just thinking of the price difference between the R1 and R3. It's, like, wow  Would I pay more for a measly DTS track? Anyway, someone already pointed out how good the DD track is, so I guess I'll just be happy with it either way 

I actually liked the film (<--- inserted just in case someone out there bemoans the fact again that the only thing members here care about is the tech specs of a DVD, the bonus items from gift sets and limited editions, and not the movie itself  Peace! --->) even though the girlfriend, who is a die hard Craig fangirl, didn't. I do see where the detractors are coming from, likening it to the Bourne movies and current action films in general. But for me, It's a Bond movie that went beyond its shell. Even then, I'm also actually waiting for it to come back to the familiar elements of the series: gadgets, gadget briefings with Q, verbal spars with Ms. Moneypenny, etc.

Maybe ayusin ang sound levels sa individual speakers   If the movie itself was the same way I guess a total remix on Blu-Ray would be the only real answer as well 

At least the film itself gets a general "good" rating. IGN always has such higher standards for DVD features and extras.

Another take on the sound:

http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/36454/quantum-of-solace-two-disc-special-edition/

But the reviewer played the DTS track. He did comment on the DD track and said it was equally great.

I agree with the IGN review stating the sound was front heavy, but only up to a point. The movie has great bass and an adequate sound mix--so maybe IGN should recalibrate their systems or something
