"Terminator 2: Judgement Day" is being sold cheap everywhere I see it. I'm very tempted to buy it, but I hesitate because I've heard that the PQ is not very good with the current release. Seeing how prices are so cheap with this title, is it possible Lionsgate is planning a new and improved release? Has anyone heard about an upcoming re-release?

I'm in the exact same boat.

Well, that, and I'm holding off until T1 is cheaper too.

If they are planning another release, I can almost guarantee it will coincide for the release of either the new Terminator film hitting theaters or DVD.

Considering that it was released on SD like 5 or 6 times, I'd say a double dip is almost guaranteed...

I'd buy it just because it's such an awesome movie!

Exactly. Based on what was said in another thread from insider information, the next Lionsgate release already has a transfer selected for it.

Personally, I'm happy with the UK release and the current Lionsgate version to supplement it. I've bought this movie way too many times on home video.

I'm not sure I get what you mean. Has an insider said something about Lionsgate got a new transfer for Terminator 2: Judgement Day? Can you link to the post in question?

It's ten bucks at WalMart and it's still the best version available. I see no reason to get it at that price while waiting for the inevitable and hopefully better done 2nd dip.

Isn't it the theatrical edition, though?

Yep, unfortunately, but it's just ten bucks.

This is worse HD version. The European ones are better in every way and the old WMV-HD version has argueably better PQ.

I've got the UK version and its the Special Edition and the picture qualtiy is pretty good. I believe its the best one you can buy.

The UK encode is the nicest looking version I've seen so far, but I won't buy it because it's the goddamn extended version only.

I'd rather have the theatrical version, and the US disc will suffice until Lionsgate release T2 again in the States. I'm certainly not paying £45 (about $65) for the Japanese edition, as good as it may be.

The UK HD DVD looks great and also has DTS-HD MA.

This one cost me $10, it's the best easily available, low cost version.

I just want a HIGH QUALITY encode of the theatrical cut with lossless sound. Is that so much to ask for?

Thankfully, I have my ultimate AND the extreme versions on dvd so I've got all my bases covered regarding content. Now I just need to get it all in HD.

The French Studio Canal HD DVD has both versions of the film. The UK Studio Canal release only has the extended cut. I opted for the UK release because I have the Extreme DVD with the WMV-HD, which is the theatrical cut and still looks surprisingly good.

Do BD players play WMV-HD?
