Terminator Sarah Connor - who has the better Blu? - Blu-ray Forum

pandys-box · 08-11-2008, 11:40 AM

Now that this fantastic series is available in both America and here in the UK I'm curious as to who has the better Blu-Ray package: us Brits or our friends accross the pond!

The UK version is quite impressive and I believe includes all the extras of the U.S. counterpart but I read that there was a problem with viewing episodes on the American version, apparently you have to skip forward a few chapters to get to the next episode - this sucks big time. The UK version is divided into the proper episode titles so you can just select any episode to view which is how it should be for any series. Also us Brits get a beautiful outer slip-case with raised 'Terminator etc' lettering and sunken metallic effects on Camerons cheek & shoulder for that Terminator effect. We Brits also get the better sleeve cover I believe.

This would have been the perfect package had it not been for one thing that has been left out: A brochure inlay with episode details etc!

Of course us Blu fans do have the upper hand over the standard DVD version as they only have 3 deleted scenes when we get all the glorious extras!

What do you think of the Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles Blu Ray?

No one likes a smug Brit... See what I did there?
Regardless of different content, our UK artwork is far better IMO. I was going to order the US set from Movietyme, but I had access Zavvi vouchers lying around, so I just went with the UK set. I can post pictures later if anyone wants, I'm slacking at work at the moment.

Sky captain please post some pics of the UK cover art, slipcover and disc art

Lucy Diamond · 08-11-2008, 04:42 PM

Is the UK version region free???

I just saw it on ebay for 50.00 USD and it says REGION --

I don't trust ebay sellers to know.

Thanks all.

thanks for posting the images, looks like a cool package, might have to pick it up soon.

Samuray · 08-22-2008, 11:53 AM

I just learned that the US set does have proper episode titles, they're just hidden in some pop-up menu. Question for the owners of the UK set: When you insert the disc, does it go into a episode selection screen by itself, or do you have to use some menu button, as well?

The image quality is identical on both sets, correct?

Magic · 08-22-2008, 12:32 PM

1. So you take nice up close shots of the back cover, but neglect to focus in on the nude pic of Cameron hanging in the corner. Sure you're not French?

j/k

2. I have not yet bought this, but if it is that much easier to navigate to the individual shows on the UK version I might have to get that one. As Samuray asked, is it in a main title or do you have to access the shows through a pop-up?

obiwopkenobi62 · 08-22-2008, 12:52 PM

Yeah, I checked the popup menu and you can do the individual episodes. Nice set. Great audio and picture.

jw · 08-22-2008, 12:56 PM

i dont like the UK releases because they put those ugly #s on the front of the coverart, you know the ratings, 15,18 etc

Lucy Diamond · 08-22-2008, 12:58 PM

I got mine two days ago and it IS seperated into episodes.

You just have to access them through the pop-up window.

Why is there so much drama about THAT?!?!

This set looks amazing and sounds great and stars a former career ballerina as a ruthless, emotionless ice queen of a killing machine...'nuff said
