Underworld (Entertainment In Video UK Blu-ray): Dolby Digital 5.1
Underworld (Concorde GER Blu-ray): DTS 5.1
Underworld (Dutch Film Works NL Blu-ray): DTS-HD Master 5.1
Underworld (Sony US/CAN Blu-ray): PCM 5.1

Nice one!
I got the US trilogy boxset.
I was more interested in better AVC transfer rather then sound as I dont have a sound system yet.

Its uncompressed audio
So no loss in audio quality from the actual master.

So does that make the soundtrack better than a DTS 5:1?

As mentioned before, each cover is reversible so you don't have the FSK logo or Action Cult border around the artwork.

I had five arrive today-but DELTA FORCE was shipped seperately.....

Yes

Silent Running has been one I've wanted for a while. I think I'll add it to the list for next month. Melancholia arrived this morning, so unless Four Flies, Drive or Red Scorpion arrive tomorrow I'll be enjoying that! Not sure what the release dates of those others are.

I was actually going to watch it today but this morning I finished up the first series of Misfits and just watched the second ep of Sherlock after work. I really enjoyed both.

Watched Operation Condor the other night, considering it's on one disc with 3 other films and was under £12 I think the quality is damn fine.
