well least anyone who owns the HD-DVD version can rest easy, they wont have to rebuy since they both have nothing.

If there was any word I'd have included it in the news item. All the press releases state '5.1' for the audio, which is about as much use as a chocolate teapot. 5.1 what? Dolby, DTS, TrueHD, DTS-HD? They don't define the video specs either, but they're easy to guess. Optimum generally have more info closer to the release dates.

Again, if I knew I'd have said. It's likely to be a similar to the European HD DVD though, so whatever cut that is.

Awwww c**p!! I was hoping for a decent BD release. Not getting rid of the HD DVD for a commentary. Now if the transfer's stellar, that'll be a different matter.

Oh no, I didn't realise the T2 USA Blu Ray was the theatrical version - I just purchased a copy from ebay (grrrr!).  I wanted the extended version.

dammit dammit dammit - one of the few movies I would consider the double dip for BD - unless they do the full 7.1 then I think I will still watch my old ultimate edition

It's 'a Cameron' so if history is any indicator it'll be a while before he gets round to overseeing a new HD version of the Extended version given his workload at the moment.

See also:-
True Lies (bare bones release-no Spec Ed).
Titanic (took about 7-8 years into the DVD format to get a Special Ed).
The Abyss (still waiting on an uncut anamorphic DVD never mind an uncut BD here in UK.

For T2, Total Recall and Rambo's 1-3, Optimum seem to be the distributors to approach with caution at present as they appear to be putting in minimum effort and expense to exploit the fact that people will buy these titles. And people will.

As always, vote with your wallets people and wait. In the fledgling months of a worlwide recession, now is the perfect time to not throw your money away.

Wow bare bones Blu Ray.New technology is great!!! Same ol Bullsheeeeit.

The opening shots are my favorite. Narration and a close up of a black road speeding by. Also love the disturbing montage that follows.

The Terminator: I need your clothes, boots and your motorcycle.
Cigar Biker: You forgot to say please...

No.

That's as maybe, but the disc itself refers to it as the director's cut in the menus and that's why it's mentioned.

Let's see - there is a menu shot that has a "bonus" button, but no bonus features? I wonder if it is only there to change the audio format / subtitles....

What will be in the Bonus menu? Audio?

That the extra's are not confirmd yet it don't mean it don't get extra's. Also the English and Spanish subtitel are not confirmd yet,but also going to be on the disc too.

In The Netherlands Universal haven't yet anouched the release,so i can't take a look the Dutch version. But this Uk anouchment say it is the DC only so mabey it get the same extra's as the 2 disc UE dvd who only have the DC (In The Netherlands releasd by RCV) or the same material as the 3 disc UE but then without cinema version (The 3 disc who have the Cinema and DC is Releasd in The The Netherlands by Universal.).

I've already answered this above. The video/audio calibration nonsense is there, but that's all.

Those are the exact, confirmed specs. I have the disc in my possession and there are no extras.
