From the link:

We all know that the Robot Apocalypse is on its way, but thanks to a few classic movies, we have a good sense of what to expect. One of those movies, of course, is Terminator 2, the James Cameron sci-fi classic that proved we can't really change the future.

On May 19, 2009 Lionsgate will finally release Terminator 2 Skynet Edition on Blu-ray. Fans of the ultimate action film can see and hear multiple versions of the movie in explosive, THX certified high-definition and all-new English Lossless DTS-HD Master Audio. The disc is loaded with over 8 hours of interactive Blu-ray content including over 140 minutes of behind the scenes video and multimedia galleries, storyboard-script views, audio commentaries, quizzes and games – plus additional BD-Live enabled content featuring games and more that is accessible on internet-connected players.

In addition, the Terminator 2 Skynet Edition Blu-ray will be available for a limited time in the Limited Edition T2 Complete Collector's Set, a 6-disc set that allows the ultimate T2 fan to play the film anytime, anywhere! Packaged with a 14" T-800 Endoskull bust that plays sound effects from the film while its eyes light up, this collectible set features the Terminator 2 Skynet Edition Blu-ray plus both the "Extreme Edition" DVD and "Ultimate Edition" DVD – which, combined, include every T2 special feature ever released on DVD. As a bonus, the Limited Edition T2 Complete Collector's Set comes with a digital copy of the film for iTunes or Windows Media.

Terminator 2 Skynet Edition on Blu-ray Disc and the Limited Edition T2 Complete Collector's Set will be available for $29.99 and $174.99 respectively on May 19, 2009, coinciding with the theatrical release of Terminator: Salvation and the DVD release of the Schwarzenegger DVD Collection.

Bonus features include:

• Multiple THX-certified, high-definition versions of the film
• All-new English 6.1 DTS-HD Master Audio Lossless
• Picture-in-picture of behind the scenes video, text commentaries and multimedia galleries
• Storyboard-script mode – view storyboards and read the script while watching the film

Thanks, sorry I should have posted those details haha.

[MrLogan13]

[Master X]

I been wanting to import the HD DVD steelbook but if this is a huge over the Blu ray version thats out, Il get this.

Movie cash please

Damn, I want that bust.

Yea it definitely doesn't look cheap either. Die-cast??

[BostonMA]

wait...i might have read the details too fast but did it say the blu-ray disc is the same as the one out now with a few different cuts on DVD??? or are the different cuts on blu-ray?

[Super-VHS]

From what I quoted it seems the Skynet Blu-ray is getting "Multiple High Def Versions".... I'd assume that means Theatrical, Director's Cut, Special Edition. And rest assured the BD isn't a carbon copy of what's been out since 2006 - this new release is getting 6.1 Master Audio (lossless) with PiP, BD-Live and a slew of other extras. The old disc was lossy (6.1 DTS-ES) and only had commentaries.

The Limited Edition will have multiple versions of the multiple versions. The Ultimate and Extreme DVDs, plus the new SkyNet Blu-ray will all be inluded in that uber expensive 6 disc set.

So Sky-Net Edition is the "regular" double-dip, right, with just one disc and no digital copy?

And the Limited Collector's Edition is the uber one with the bust and the six discs, including digital copy?

If so, why does the box art for the Sky-Net edition above look so thick?

Yes. If that info from IGN is correct anyway.

Weird perspective?

doubtful. t2 = lionsgate, t3, salv = warner. it could always happen, look at pink panther (60's) having movie cash for pp2 (09) which i believe was a sony title like pt 1 was.

booyah!

i had this on blu but watched it once and then gave it to my friend for 10 dollars over a year ago along with the terminator and t3 on hd dvd. at the time i didnt like them as much as i thought i would (all blind buys) but watched them a few more times on tv when i was over my friends house and we werent doing anything, then TS got me really looking forward to it and idk, i guess i just want them all back now, i know i'd enjoy them a lot more when i watch them again. this is great news, i dont mean to sound like an ignorant noob but are there any other versions of the terminator? i dont feel like doing any hw? (aka is there a good chance that t1 will be double dipped?) if not i'll just buy it again on blu with this bad boy on 5/19.

This might be good for someone who is a terminator fanatic...lol...but maybe not so much for the average viewer...but still a cool package to look at !
