Sounds awesome!

I’m happy to report that the Blu-Ray release is jaw-dropping. Colors are accurate, so accurate that I sometimes wondered if I was watching a brand new release and not a film that is 22 years old. A majority of the grain has been cleared away giving the film’s setting and theme a more horrifying and terrifying feel as the Terminator chases Sarah and Reese. The 1:85:1 Aspect Ratio brings new life to an old classic as former scenes that looked gritty and dirty (the TechNoir and the final factory setting) look completely new and fresh. Flesh tones are spot on giving new meaning to how scary this machine really easy. For a visual feast, at least in my own eyes, look to the scene where the Terminator is repairing himself after his run in with Sarah and Reese. Talk about crystal clarity on his endoskeleton. Ladies and Gentlemen, Blu-Ray has arrived and it’s off to a fine, albeit delayed, start.

Holy schniekies! They even said the PCM sounded good. Although if Sony doesn't start putting in DD-HD and DTS-HD, I will be very angry.

DD-HD and DTS-HD will sound no better than PCM. The advantage of DD-HD and DTS-HD will that they should sound identical to PCM, but use less disc space.

Yeah but it is a psychological thing, people (including me) just want to see the logo's on the cover, and know that those options are available.

And then there is another thing that keeps going through my mind. 'Will all the (cheaper) HD receivers be able to process PCM HD?'
