I'd rather get an unmolested transfer of the movie. With lossless audio. So import.

As I have previously posted, the Japanese Premium Edition is the best quality version of T2.

Anyone who disagrees has either NOT seen it or just thinks it's too expensive.

I have seen all 3 versions being discussed and couldn't care less if the Skynet or U.K. versions were $1.00 each.

If you are a genuine fan of T2 and/or Blu ray and have something better than a HTIB you owe it to yourself to buy the BEST QUALITY VERSION AVAILABLE...............THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want MORE proof

I kind of understand your stance.

For most movies,... I would also seek out the highest quality possible.

This movie though is just fun. So,... The $10 version works for me.

If it was a movie like Jaws or Empire Strikes Back or something then yeah,... I would want to know where to buy the best one.

I guess I'm not much of a Terminator fan. I can enjoy the movies but I'm not going to import it because $10 sounds about right for me.

I doubt if most of the people who would ask for advice would EVER really be able to tell the difference on the audio end.

I'd wager that most who would ask "which version should I get" rather than investigating themselves probably don't even have sound systems.

And where's the purist's favor for the original theatrical presentation? Does the Japanese version have the original mono track in lossless? Does any version? Maybe we should all save our cash until a truly right version comes out? Actually, this is kind of what I've done, except I've opted for a cheap-o American version for the meantime until it happens rather than abstaining from purchase completely.

This is pretty funny. "NO YOU'RE NOT A REAL FAN UNLESS YOU DO IT LIKE ME!"

Personally, my definition of a "real fan" is one who would want the company who produced the film to profit from the purchase. I'd wager that the producers of the film make more money on a 15 dollar sale in USA than a 15 dollar sale of a British import or a 35~55 dollar sale of a Japanese import.

And yeah, bro, I'll admit it. If you'll spend 55 dollars on this movie, a copy that will be obsoleted in the future, you are a MUCH bigger Terminator 2 fan than I. I don't think I could justify spending over 20 bucks on this thing, no matter how much better than my current edition it is.

I was going to point out that the comparison is between the Japanese BD, the UK BD, and 2 different DVDs, but your observation works as well.

Trouble? You order it on Amazon.jp, which is just like ordering on U.S. Amazon. You get your order in 2 days.

Each to their own I guess.
I was assuming everyone into Blu had similar criteria to me.

My bad.

WOW! That article is really grasping at straws. All of those Blu-ray screens look so similar, I can't even believe the author of that article spent so much time on it! With how similar those screen shots look, when viewing the actual movies in motion, I can't imagine anyone being able to notice the difference enough to care. In fact, in motion, I can't imagine anyone noticing that little of a difference period. If you enjoy spending extra money then by all means do it. To anyone else in the thread that hasn't bought the movie yet, I will highly recommend you get the Skynet edition!

I have the JP steel box and the US Skynet Edition. I watched the Skynet Edition last night....everyone looks like they are made of wax. They really smoothed over everything. So smooth that it loses some of the detail that the JP version has.

I say neither. The Interface is T2: Skynet edition is the most slowest and ridiculous piece of Blu-ray software I have ever seen in my life. In-fact, I want mine OUT of my collection. PM me if you want to trade something for it.

I've been willing to time to see how long it takes after I insert the Blu-ray disc into my PS3 to when the movie actually starts. I think it's roughly around 2-3 minutes. It's pretty bad.

It's a piece of trash, plain and simple. Besides, the transfer does not do this movie justice. Who cares if it's "The best version out in the US", it's still trash.

At-least my US version of American Psycho acts like a Blu-ray movie. It's a crappy transfer, but I put it in, and it loads up in 5-6 seconds. This on the other-hand is a disgrace.

Not to mention, they're still images. You can't judge a movies picture quality on a few still images.

Uhh I'd say so since its taken from the film itself. These are not images somebody has created out of thin air.

It's not gonna look exactly like that in motion. You're not going to be able to notice such subtle differences between the two when it's in motion. Of course you can now, because it's a still picture and you can sit and stare at both of them side by side for as long as you want.

Were the photos cleaned up at all for this comparison? You wouldn't think so, but how can anybody be sure, etc, etc....
