Terminator Salvation

[bladelia]

Apparently we are getting the version shown in cinemas, and our friends across the pond are getting an unrated directors cut, ala Watchmen.

Fingers crossed for region free then.

Warner have the rights in the US, so I'm sure it'll be Region Free.

If that's the case, why has the amazon.co.uk listing been amended today to say it's the extended cut?

[General Vyper]

Whoa! I've pre-ordered the limited edition steelbook from Play.com, does anyone know if this is the theatrical or extended cut?

The steel book will contain the exact same disk as the regular blu-ray version. If the regular blu-ray gets the extended cut then you get the extended cut as well.

All I seen is an announcement, a date and some features for the blu-ray but no mention of what version we will get or the blu-ray specs.

No word had been mentioned on what sony is giving us. Amazon as Today popcultureboy said that they are listing an extended cut.

I know sony will do the theatrical cut on DVD but given sonys push for Extended cuts on blu-ray only most likely to get the fans onto blu-ray (Angels and deamons, Davinci Code so far are extended and sure there will be more to come) I am more likely to belive that sony will deliver the extended cut on blu-ray but not DVD.

hi all, i have a problem and would be very gratefull if any ideas could be thrown my way (i'm a little numb).

I have just bought terminator salvation from tesco's and when i played it first time it stuck on the menu and wouldn't allow me to select any option whatsoever with either the remote control or by pressing play on the blu ray player, (lg-bd370), I then tried it on my (samsung 1500) other player and it worked fine, and then as a final option i tried both uk and us discs in my LG and they worked fine, so I took the disc back (thinking the disc may be faulty) and got another one only to find that the same senario again, if there is any help to be had in trying to get it to work on my main (LG) player i'd appreciate it.

yours hopefully

Maybe it needs a firmware update?

As my earlier post states, I had the same problem until I upgraded my firmware on my sony BDP-300.

This reminds of the time The Matrix was first released on DVD and many people had problems playing it.

Here's some pics of the HMV exclusive versionI found:

The pic is a bit wide so I thought it best to only provide a link.

same problem here and same lg player you need a firmware update i tried to hook my bd370 to the net but wouldnt work for shit phoned lg and theyre sending me a firmware disc thats the only advice i can give

[SapGoblin]

Damn! Same firmware problem here too! Just sits on the menu screen forever, unresponsive! Good thing others have already posted...otherwise woulda assumed the disc was defective. So hope it works once I upgrade!

Same issue on my new Philips BDP3000 which I have encountered with Escape From New York on DVD region 2 a few years aback on my Pioneer DV-525.

Menu just locked-up! I tried it on one my other two DVD players except for my Sony which had layer changing issues as it was getting on a bit. It ran fine on the Cello DR-810.

I don’t see why I should or anyone else should buy a second Bluray just to get one sodden Bluray to work!

I spoke to Philips consumer and was surprised that the issue had some many reports on Samsung and LG Bluray players and the (jarva menu) which is the cause of problem will be resolved in about 3 weeks time.

I tried two of the same Bluray title and ASDA funny enough hadn’t had any recalls, so I guess some of the customers that brought a Philips BDP3000 about 3 to 4 weeks ago haven’t brought Terminator Salvation, yet?

I’m not sweating the issue if its being looked into, software huh, sigh.

One thing this would never happen with 35/70mm film well maybe with the odd hard-disc digital format which I have encountered first hand in the cinema, now then!

It only means I have to buy the Bluray again because I lost my rag with Terminator Salivation and swapped it for some afterburning Top Gun because I feel the need the need for LFE.1!

LG have just posted updated firmware, Terminator Salvation now plays on the LGBD370.

[SapGoblin]

yeah- did the firmware upgrade to my sony 300 yesterday...and Terminator Salvation now plays just fine!

And FYI- anyone looking...I'm actually selling an extra copy of the UK edition, complete in case & new, just no artwork (would be like $18 US for shipping to UK)!

Specs are here. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...5#post17639865

I expect Anti-AVS crowd not to click on the above link.

I just want to say the UK version has indeed reference PQ and AQ!
I know what a good picture is, the UK didn't suffer from being only on one disc.
The US is a two disc with theatrical cut on the first (?) and directors cut on the second as well all know.
The UK use seamless branching for the cuts, therefore only about 3 min. more than one disc has on the US.
That doesn't matter!

Just got Terminator salvation from warner US, and the bit rate is much higer than the uk version , average 32 mbps, but it goes from 25 mbps to 39 mbps.

So much better the US warner version.
