Will these will be double dipped soon?

[bone crusher]

These are a few titles that I can definitely see being double dipped in the near future, do you guys agree?

Terminator 2 - Next year is the 20th Anniversary of the movie, can you really imagine them not releasing an Anniversary edition for one of the most re-released titles ever?

The Shining - This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the movie so I could definitely see an anniversary digibook release for this movie later this year, around Halloween would be a great guess.

Black Hawk Down - I can definitely see a re-release of this as I could see Sony doing what they did with the re-release of Casino Royale and adding Dolby TrueHD and also adding the extended cut of the film and all the special features from that awesome 3 disc set that came out on sdvd. Maybe even a new video transfer with MPEG-4 AVC as oppossed to the older MPEG-2 it was released with.
2012 is also the 10th anniversary of the BHD so not sure if they would wait till then or possibly release this sooner.

I'd double dip all three of those above movies.

What else could you possible want on Terminator 2 that was not covered in the Skynet Edition and the Endoskull editions?

I doubt that "The Shining" will be double-dipped; it's already been remastered (and I think the BD looks gorgeous!) and it has the extras from the 2-disc special edition DVD (which in itself is a double-dip of the original DVD that's been around for years and years). And it's the longer cut. If they do anything to it, they might put out the shorter theatrical cut, and maybe scrounge up more extras. I think it'd be years before "The Shining" is double-dipped, if at all.

"Terminator 2" is possible, especially since there were at least three or four different DVD versions (and one BD before the SkyNet edition). A new "T2" BD could have even more extras (possibly ported from the Ultimate Edition and Extreme Edition DVDs), and it could be remastered further (though I think the SkyNet Edition looks really good).

"Black Hawk Down" I'd say is possible. The existing BD transfer looks/sounds awesome, but they could always port over all the extras from the 3-disc DVD, and possibly add in the extended cut.

On their anniversaries, though, I could foresee all these movies getting different packaging.

I highly doubt T2 will get a re-release so shortly after the Skynet edition. Yes, it's possibly the most re-released title in home video history. But even the studio has to realize by now that there's really not much more that can, or needs to be done with it anymore.

Considering how cheap and complete the Skynet edition is already, I don't foresee consumers rushing out to replace it as soon as next year.

I sure won't!

Noob question here...what does double-dipped mean? When they release a new version of a movie that is already on blu-ray?

T2: Very likely, it's almost a tradition to release a new T2 version each 2 years or so

The other two: I doubt it. At least not for a while.
