    maff1972
    Excellent deluxe edition. However my only gripe is with these additions I wish they were lay flat pages. Can be awkward to remove the discs.
    Definitely worth the money for any PT fan

      Has anyone heard if there are plans of later releasing a single (or double) CD of just the 2024 remaster?

        The 2024 5.1 mix (DTS HD MA) on the BD sounds like a beast, love it!
