I'm not up on this info. Which edition are you talking about?
Are we talking the special edition by Manga with the 6.1 DTS-ES?

Yes, Rust. The original release only had the original 2ch track.

My bad for not being clear ; I know the original was 2 channel.
I just did'nt know there had been "cheap DSP processing to upmix the 2ch track directly".

What I wanted to know was which particular dvd release got the half-ass upmixing.
You said "the re-release" so I figured you meant the special ed. from 2005, but I just
wanted to make sure.

thanks.
