The old version's been off the market for 2 years, I think. You should be safe unless a store has some very old stock sitting on the shelves...

Is there a way i could tell by the case?

EDIT- thanks wolverine.

Yes.

The security tape across the top of the disc case reads “FIFTH ELEMENT, THE RMSTD BD” on the new version, the catalog number on the spine of the re-master is 21520, the originals catalog number was 15018 and lastly the bottom border (front cover) area that contains the “Experience High Definition” slogan is set against a silver/foil background on the re-master versus a flat gray border on the original.

The remastered one also had both PCM and Dolby TrueHD offered as the audio codecs. That should be a fast indicator.

I just watched it [the remastered one ofc] last weekend, and boy is it might nice to look at! They did a great job!

Just make sure it says English PCM 5.1(Uncompressed) on the back and you're good to go.

The original release had PCM 5.1 as well. The remastered release is the only one to feature a Dolby TrueHD track.
