What T2 should I get?

[bogo5]

The 25GB 2006 release or the 50GB 2009 release?

Looking at these two screens the newer version looks like it has too much dnr?

2006

2009

Although the newer one does have a little more DNR, I didn't find it to be intrusive. The 2006 version has more edge enhancement and haloing and basically looks exactly the same as the Extreme DVD. I did a comparison and could barely tell a difference. The sound is also lossy on the 2006 release, with only DDEX and DTS-ES. Ultimately, I'd say get the Skynet Edition because the transfer looks fine and the DTS-HDMA audio is outstanding. It also trumps the 2006 in the extras department as well.

I have them both and would put their video quality on the same level. That said, I'd get the newer one simply because it has the extended cut, while the original release does not. It also has DTS-MA while the older version does not.

Although reviews don't mean everything. Check the review on this site. Both versions scored the same for video from the official reviewer. However, the video score from users on the site here got a much higher score for the Skynet edition than the original release. I'd take that into serious consideration since it's an average of a lot of reviews put together. General user reviews seem to like the video quality of the Skynet edition better.

SkyNet Edition...The Extra Footage makes it Worth the Purchase.
Not to mention the SkyNet Version sports a 6-channel Audio Sound Track

Japanese U.E FTW!!
If you own the DVDs then you have the 2 extended scenes missing or u can wait for the 2.0 release of the Jap UE which has the 2 extra scenes and DTS instead of True HD.

Neither of the US releases are worth it.

Either the Japanese release mentioned in the previous post or the original UK release by Optimum (will play in US player):

Ill just go with the Skynet one which is region B from where I buy. The Japanese is too expensive.

The UK release I mentioned is quite reasonable.

[HeavyHitter]

I own the Skynet and used to have the 2006 U.S. version. The Skynet does contain a bit more DNR, but I still think it's a little better than the original release, overall.....not to mention the audio track improvement.

[Freekman]

Skynet Edition, no question.

[DetroitSportsFan]

The UK or Japanese version.

This is probably the best PQ version (slightly better than the Japanese version as well). No extras, just the movie, 1080p VC-1 2:35:1 with English DTS-HD MA 5.1. Director's cut only.

Note-I see you are in AUS. http://dvdcrave.com.au/ViewProduct.a...3-8280583015af
This copy is the same as the UK Optimum release. It is OOS online, but might still be in stores if the Skynet version has not replaced it.

[bogo5]

hmm I've really taken a liking to the skynet box cover.

I have owned the U.K version and seen the U.S. Skynet version.
The Japanese Premium Edition version which I have now is easily the best of the lot
for AQ and PQ.

Lionsgate (U.S.) vs. Genon (Japanese)

Wow, thanks for posting those comparision shots, Detriot. I have the first US BD version, the US Skynet edition, the Japanese steelbook edition (unopened), PLUS the recent T2 steelbook editions from Mexico, UK and France.

It seems that the Japanese version has a very good master. I am so tempted to open it and watch -- but I want to keep it sealed (it looks cool).

I never got the T2 Endoskull. It looks interesting, but I do not like the yellow teeth on it (but I suppose I could always put White Out on it if I get one).

[fiveseven4combat]

Skynet edition for sure.
