What do we make of this?

Steven Spielberg: This is the best it's ever looked because in preparation for the eventual release on Blu-Ray (applause), we had to go and correct the print again and get the original negative out of the salt mines (laughter) and then we had to do the separations and basically, the files which were just amazing with all the technology today, without changing any of the movie materially, like we haven't removed anything (applause) we haven't added CGI...This is the movie that some of you may remember from 1981, looking at the age of the audience, most of you don't remember it from 1981 (laughter). But it is THE movie, it just looks so much better.

Some are suggesting the guide wires and cobra reflection will be back in but I think they're still digitally removed in the recent HD broadcasts (can someone confirm this?)that will probably be the same transfers used for the Blu-rays.
