If it has stereo (PCM) soundtrack, like trilogy had. I don´t like the idea of
having to purchase a 5.1 soundsystem.

From what I've read, I think it will have both Dolby 5.1 and Dolby 2.0 (stereo) tracks. What gets me is that they often use lossy audio when they don't have too.

For example, the Nocturne DVD is dual-layer and has Dolby 448 audio (if I remember correctly). Yet, there are about 2 unused GB on the disc! :smth011

Thanks for the information.  :rocker

Actually i ordered it already before making this a kind
of logical paradox answer. If i thought that i wouldn´t buy it if it doesn´t have
a true stereo track, how would i then buy an expensive 5.1 surround system to
listen to it. A dvd is much cheaper than a surround system so of course i buy a dvd that costs only a small fraction of the price of a home theatre. But actually i never said that i wouldn´t buy the dvd, i just said that i don´t want to buy a home theatre.
I only said that i would with certainty buy the dvd IF it has a pcm sound track but i didn´t say i wouldn´t buy it if it doesn´t have. And since i already ordered the whole damn dvd it doesn´t make any sense anymore. So, i will think now again about buying the 5.1 soundsystem.
