Try the book sometime if you haven't already. The movie comes pretty close but still leaves a lot out, including the first-person feel.

Agreed - at least as far as living up to Buchheim's original work, I think the miniseries does a far better job of capturing the overall feel. But perhaps to each his own!
Curious about this indeed. I really am skeptical as far as visual quality; on the other hand I sure wouldn't complain about Das Boot potentially selling some more copies and being seen by new audiences. I doubt I'll be running to get it since I have no BD player, but we'll see what it's got to offer I guess.
