Terminator 2 Extreme- No theatrical cut, no extra special edition?
If the new T2 DVD doesn't have the theatrical cut and the special hidden version thingie I don't want it. Who cares if it looks better on PC? PC's are for internet, burning CD/DVD's, printing and typing, nothing more, in my opinion.

But I disagree on your views about playing DVDs on a PC. It has advantages, namely:
PAL/NTSC issues don’t exist
Region issues easily don’t exist
No problems playing any format!
as for viewing it on the monitor, you could just hook it up to a TV.

Do all newer generation video cards convert PAL discs to NTSC output?
I've got an old PC along with an ATI7200 (w/S-vid out) that I'd like to hook up to my A/V system to play R2/PAL discs but I don't want to invest more $$ than a new case for the PC.
Any info appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Once your DVD-Rom drive is free, you download Power DVD (best player) and any region lock is on the software side.
You then use DVD genie to switch between regions

It’ll also tell you if your drive is region locked (if it isn’t you don’t need to go through the firmware upgrade)
As for PAL/NTSC issues, I repeat: these don't exist on your computer

Is there a list online somewhere that will tell me whether or not my drive is region free? I'm very interested in some R2 DVD's that I don't want to waste money on...

Are there any new features that are not required to view on a dvd-rom or deleted scenes??
Cheers!

There are FEWER deleted scenes on the Extreme Edition because it doesn't have the Ultimate Version of the movie, only the Special Edition (DVD player) and Theatrical Version (WMP9). No DTS either.

Squirrel,
Thanks for the info!
If the transfer is vastly improved then I might upgrade. Cameron is a very intelligent guy I always like what he has to say in interviews.
I just hope the "king of the world" lets the other guy (William Wisher co-writer) share the commentary track too..

Shanester,
Some comparison screenshots between Ultimate and Extreme Editions are here. Doesn't look to be much in it to me, certainly not a vast improvement going on those s/shots.
