Thanks!

I'm wondering that myself.

I reeeally wanted to walk away with the latest version of Terminator on Blu, handsomely packaged in a Blubook, but my conscience got the best of me. At $30 I just couldn't justify buying it again just to get some liner notes. Does MGM need the money that much?

Maybe.  The book version really is a rip-off.  You can get the same disc for $13 less at Amazon.  The book's worth maybe an extra $2 or $3, but not $13...

Does the sd version from 2001 have the original mono track or was it downmixed from the newer stereo remix?

It does have the original mono track. The only track I'll listen to for this movie, unless they do a new 5.1 mix using the original music and sound effects.

I didn't think it was much of an improvement over the DVD and I certainly wouldn't give it 8/10.  I'd say 6/10 is more accurate.

Is this latest release just a repackaging of the previous blu-ray?

It's a re-release of the existing disc but now it comes with a book. It's like on The Simpsons when Smithers wants a 'new' Malibu Stacy because it has a hat.

Ok.  Thank.  No need up "upgrade" then.

Quite agreed. I still believe there is a large difference from the DVD, but I did this review 5 years ago so it was a bit of a comparison to what was around at that time, and there really wasn't too much! Much has happened in our Blu-ray world since then!
