I thought both Terminators were getting new transfers?

Remaster of the first one was not completed in time for may. It might be released when T4 will be released on Blu-ray or maybe later..

the 2nd definitely is and is slated for release in may. the 1st likely is and will probably be released later this year, but nothing has been officially confirmed yet.

I guess I will continue to wait it out for Terminator.

He'll always be back anyway.

Is this the lamest (most lame?) double-dip for blu-ray so far? Same exact disc & transfer, only a new case? Gadzukes....

The first Terminator release wasn't terrible, especially considering it came out in 2006. While many harshly critique the transfer, in all honesty The Terminator is a rough-looking film and most likely can't look much better. I will be curious to see what Lowry does, as they'll almost definitely be able to make it look a little better, but it's not like the first release was a botched job. A legitimate complaint with the first disc, however, was the lack of the original mono soundtrack, as some of the re-done effects were pretty bad.

The full restoration isn't complete yet, so I'm glad they didn't rush it. This is just a new slipcover to tie into the T4 movie release, just like Paramount put all those Academy Award slipcovers on their titles to tie into the hype of the most recent Oscars. I really don't see this as a "double-dip" as there's no reason for any owners of the previous disc to buy it - it's basically just a new SKU in the system so it'll show up in the "New Release" section and maybe attract the attention of people who don't already own it. The actual restored disc will come out when it is ready, and then we can judge whether Fox/MGM have created a valid double-dip.
