If you go to the SACD section of the Universal Music site [http://consumers.umusic.com/sacd/future.html] and scroll all the way down on the upcoming releases section, The Downward Spiral is listed as "coming soon". Although many albums that were issued as stereo CDs are getting stereo only releases on SACD, only with higher definition, according to the captions under The Downward Spiral, this one will not only be a hybrid SACD (meaning it can be played on a regular CD player), but will also feature a Surround Sound mix.
