All the Paramount discs have the green 6, so if that is a favorite of yours, the Shout box would be the better option since it was blue in the theater. Oh yeah, the Shout box also has the true 3D part 3 and no option to watch the red/blue (doesn't work at all and gives you a headache) home 3D version. But that didn't get ported over with the new 4K scan of 3, so I think the newest Paramount set loses 3D completely for 3.
Just checked the reviews and sure enough "Note that this release only includes the 2-D version of the film; there is no anaglyph or stereoscopic versions included".

Thank you for that information. I appreciate it. I'll probably get the newest release, but it does suck knowing that the colors for Part VI are wrong, and there's no 3D for Part III! It's nearly impossible to justify getting the Shout! release, however, as I don't have any interest in the later installments.
