So does the Skynet bluray have all 3 versions on bluray? 137min, 152min and 156min?

Yes. But you need a special code to watch the extended extended cut lol. I believe its 8-4-97

Oh really? Didn't know you needed a code for the 156min version. Is that just something they did because "Skynet" edition?

Not because of that edition, it's an easter egg that's been carried over from the old Ultimate Edition DVD.

So got a used copy of the Ultimate Edition DVD - with all the extras minus the commentaries - along with the 2015 "Van Ling Edition", and sold the Skynet edition Blu off.

That's an excellent way to get everything of importance rounded up, plus you get the amazing 'making of' supplement that's on the UE DVD. I did something similar recently, I've held on to my UE DVD all these years and rebought the Extreme Edition DVD for pennies because between them they contain the two commentaries and all the video featurettes collected together on the 2015 Blu-ray. As a little bonus the booklet that comes with the EE DVD covers the process used to create the then-new 2003 HD transfer.

That repurchase of the EE DVD was the 23rd time I've bought this movie on video, and the Endo Arm will be number 24 in due time.

To all my fellow Blu-ray.com members.
I could care less how the transfer quality of the Ultra HD Blu-ray edition is.
I could care less how the transfer quality of the other gazillion released editions (VHS, Beta, Laser Disc, Blu-ray) are.
Watched the Skynet Edition again last night. Since day one and many viewings later, I've been extremely happy with this edition. I realize the know-it-alls out there will gasp at that statement. Of course, they know better and I bow to their superior intellect.
However, one thing is for sure, I've enjoyed the Skynet Edition of this classic film on many occasions. I'm 100% satisfied. It appears the know-it-alls are not.
There is still hope though for you video Einsteins out there. Just give it a few more years, maybe the 8K edition will be the one.

This makes me sad.

One bad thing about the Skynet edition is that it takes about 10 minutes to load on slower blu-ray players. Also that you have to know a secret code to see the extended cut. Otherwise, yeah I never had a huge problem with the picture quality on it, personally. I think the 3D version is the best though!

Never had that 10 minute problem with either of my first two old Blu-ray players (both Sony). I remember checking it years ago.

Load time was excruciatingly slow on my PS3. I thought something had failed the first time I tried to play the disc.

Do you want to be banned? Because this is how you get banned.

The transfer sucks on the Skynet Edition, but credit where credits due; one thing I'll always be grateful for is the free THX optimizer that is included on the disc. It helped me a lot with calibrating my HDTV at the time and for that I'm thankful.

Im sure it was but I timed it on my first two Sony players and it was a minute at the most.

[Russhole]

Better transfer and faster load time on this 2015 release...

Optimizer was always movie specific, which is why THX was such a joke.
