kopkiwi: MGM (Fox) has always used DTS-HD Master Audio tracks for all their releases. So of course these Bond releases will. |

These are going to be seriously good looking Blu-rays! Lowry's frame-by-frame restoration made these films looks as good as Casino Royale. They were also re-done while DTS owned Lowry Digital Images so we have not only the best picture but best sound as well. |

I cannot tell you how impressed/glad I am that MGM opted for DTS-HD MA on these movies. More studios should get on this train. Long live DTS! |
