It doesn't have lossless audio (only DD 5.1), but nevertheless I thought the sound quality was fine. It's recorded at a low level so you need to turn the volume up a few extra notches, but then there's plenty of dynamic range and bass extension when the bombs are falling, etc. It certainly sounded better than my Region 1 DVD (I don't have the UK DVD).

The PQ is also excellent, so I don't see any reason to hesitate.

Thanks--I'll give it a go!
