Re: Terminator 2 HD DVD beats T2 Blu-Ray!?


So what bonus features are included with this? Any Docs, commentaries? If so are they in French or English? Forced/optional subs on the bonus material? Also is the alternate ending included as a deleted scene?

Given the lack of releases over the summer I might consider this down the road if I don't hear of Lionsgate prepping an Ultimate Edition type BD.



The Collection (Blu-Ray High Definition/DVD)

Pre-orders - BLU-RAY: Akira, The Dark Knight, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Death Proof, King Kong, La Femme Nikita, Planet Terror, Raging Bull, Ronin, The Third Man DVD: .................

I believe there are no extras. This is the story with most of the "Studio Canal" HD DVD-releases.

Thanks for the info. So the cheapest I found was $33 + shipping for what's basically a barebones edition. Hmm.... Makes the average $27 Fox barebones BD's look like a bargain in comparison.



I'll have to mull this one over. Maybe the U.K. edition will be cheaper.

No: a 2-disc edition!

The Studio Canal release referenced is the UK Version. The dual disk version SP is the French version, which exploitedcinema.com is currently shipping.

I didn't see a discussion of the PAL sound speedup issue in the thread. Does the French disc have the sound speedup?

Robert,

No we didn't discuss it here, but we certainly discussed it elsewhere.

There is no PAL speedup, because there is no PAL.
Those are exactly the same tracks you could get on a US release - which wouldn't be NTSC either.
