One of the last great releases on the HD DVD format comes from Germany. Terminator 2: Ultimate Edition.

It will feature the director's cut of the movie in 1080/24p HD glory and English DTS HD 7.1 surround sound.

Lots of extras will be included on the release including picture-in-picture features, new audio commentaries, Quiz Mode (70 questions), Spy Mode (Find flaws in the movie), Personal Bookmarks, Online Features and much more.

No doubt a demo disc of what the HD DVD format is capable of. Or should we write "was capable of"? As you know Toshiba has pulled the plug on HD DVD so this might be one of the last great releases on the format.

It will be released in Germany on March 20th and can currently be pre-ordered on Amazon.de (German version of Amazon.) It is possible to check out a trailer for the release on KinoWelt's German web site. A number of screen shots can also be downloaded (Zip - 4.56MB.)

The release will of course be region free (since HD DVD doesn't have region coding) and will play in US HD DVD players. It is currently unknown if any US retailers will stock the title.

Extras:
  • Director's cut
  • Interactive ceatures: picture- in-picture (storyboards and script can be viewed together with the movie)
  • Personal bookmarks and photo galleries
  • Quiz mode (more than 70 questions about the movie!)
  • Spy mode (all film mistakes in detail)
  • Inside T2 mode
  • Integrated dynamicHD online functionality (more features accessible online)
  • Making ofs
  • Two audio commentaries
  • Omitted scenes
  • Detailed background information
  • Trailers
  • Hidden features

Specifications:
  • Format: Dual Layer HD DVD
  • Region code: free
  • Duration:
  • Video: 2,35:1 1080/24p full HD
  • Audio: English, German (7.1 DTS HD, headphone-surround)
  • Subtitles: German, Turkish

Falcon... even at that price, it's still a decent deal, considering the SAME package (less the newer features) was over $100 when released on LaserDisc back in the 1990s. Lionsgate will probably release a similar Blu-ray set (here in the USA) within the next year, I'd imagine.

I just picked up the "pressed in France" edition for $50.00

Looks like a great bargain...even if the menus are in German

I've had this preordered for damn near six months. Xploited will also be carrying it, I emailed them about it a while ago and they'll be selling for about 40 dollars american. I preordered from Amazon Germany because I wanted to make sure I got it.

The menus won't be in German they'll be an option for english menus when the disc starts up.

Movielover316... please share a brief T2 REVIEW once you get that deluxe SpEd, as I'm considering buying it myself (collector's item) to replace my deluxe Laserdisc set. The only other T2 edition I own is the last "Ultimate" Director's Cut edition on DVD (with fewer extras, but with great image quality). Who knows how long it will be before this deluxe version gets released on Blu-ray.

Will do Jimi, as I understand it Kinowelt the company releasing this is format neutral but didn't do a Blu-Ray version because they wanted to have "Dynamic HD" their version of web-enabled features, and they wanted to wait until there were 2.0 profile players on the market. I'll post my official unofficial review once I get it and have a chance to sift through everything.

I already paid $40 for the 2 Disc DVD version about 7 years ago. I'm happy enough with that.
