I had the 'ordinary' Fifth Element DVD and finally broke down and got the 'Superbit' version. Yes the picture has an amazing clarity in the Superbit release. Comparing the two, the ordinary DVD had less detail and after watching the Superbit version, the ordinary DVD had 'something missing' I could barely notice when seeking out specific differences. ?What is different?: But the overall feel is really better. Seemed the small details are clearer and just give a better sense of reality, fast action is clearer too. (I have a Sony 36XBR400 and a Technics DVD-A10 via component) I would get the "superbit" releases if they were films I want. But wouldn't REBUY releases I already have on DVD unless they are films I am wild about. And if you don't have a hi-def TV I don't know if you will really see the difference. (I liked the DTS sound too)
