Terminator 2 - HD DVD

[flukeskywalker]

Anybody know where I can get hold of this? (not including amazon.fr - they don't accept my card, the swines)

It's one of the best films ever made and I can't wait to watch it on HD DVD

I thought it was Blu-Ray only now?

In the US yes, but in Europe the distribution is handled by HD DVD supporting partners.

I heard it gets a UK release in Q3 so you may want to wait?

Ah, didn't know that. Will have to wait then.

Thanks for the reply

The French HD-DVD release should be sometime in the next couple of weeks which will mean movietyme should be stocking it as well.

I will be going for the French release as i have all the rambo films and total recall as well, The plus point on the HD-DVD french release from studio canal is that it will more than likely have a DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack.

Bit of confusion it would seem.
According to amazon.fr the release is on the 5th March.
According to fnac.com the release is on the 26th March

Whatever the date it's not long to wait. Can't wait for this

I was going to buy this on Blu-ray on a recent holiday, but it was only the theatrical version, not the extended one

Cool. So pleased it's being released on HD-DVD over here

Terminator 2 is my favourite of the 3 and i'm sure the HD-DVD version will be a much better transfer than the rushed Blu-Ray version

T2 on Blu-ray gets quite a bit of stick for it's picture which I don't think is that bad at all. It's a lot better than the Extreme Edition.

What makes you say it was rushed ?

I hope the HD-DVD version does look better than the Blu-ray version, it wasn't the case with "First Blood" however which apparently looks and sounds better. My First Blood BD turned up today so I will see for myself.

I thought First Blood on HD-DVD was ok.

It is, I'm just saying the Blu-ray version appears to be superior.

I watched T2 Extreme edition on my HD-A1 recently, it was without doubt, the best upscaled SD film I have seen on my player. That said, I haven't too many R1 films! Very good pic though Just ordered T2 HDDVD from amazon.fr, I'll let you know how it compares.

Is there a way to change the language to english on the foreign amazon sites ?

Cover art and writing is in French, but language options (from memory) are french, german and English with DTS-HD apparently!
