T2 And BTTF
I want to get T2 and BTTF on DVD
Theres 2 different versions of T2 on DVD that I saw at HMV and I dont know which version has the most rewarding stuff.
1 has the front cover with T2 Judgement Day and the other 1 has the endo-skeleton on the front and as I reckon, the 1 with the T2 lettering is more expensive. So if anybody knows what I'm talking, please help.
I know about the framing issues of BTTF but does anyone know if they re-released it to stores?. I know it's suppose to say V2 on the bar code but HMV uses a sticker which looks like another bar code and they place it over so you cant exactly see the official bar code unless you take the wrapping off which I really dont want to do. So is there any other way of checking the box to see if its V2?.
BTW, cool board, I just got The Recruit and noticed there was no insert but looking around your board, I saw it doesnt come with a insert so that is basically how I stumbled upon this board.

actually, i think its the same version with t2, did it say extreme dvd on the side/top? If it said ultimate, then you saw a diferenct version. Get the one in the regular case, since it apparently is very hard to get out, even though I thought it was very easy to get out.

BTTF: No telling when stores will start selling "V2". It might be quicker to buy the set now, call the toll-free number, get the mailer, mail off the 2 discs and get 'em back. As for knowing which one is "V2" when the sticker is in the way... you're probably SOL, unless someone from the store will peel it off before you buy it.
T2: The more expensive one (known as the Ultimate Edition) has both the theatrical and special edition version, PLUS the extended special edition (as an easter egg). There are tons of extras on this set. Highly recommended.
The other one (known as the Extreme Edition) has a slightly improved picture/sound. It has the special edition version plus the theatrical version (as an easter egg). There are a few extras (none are duplicated from the Ultimate Edition). A nice edition to the Ultimate Edition.
The completist will probably have both. If you had to choose between the two, I'd go for the Ultimate Edition.

Re: BTTF, if you get the old version, Universal is happy to replace them at no cost to you. There's a thread here all about it (and an 800 number you can call). No biggie...

I wouldn't say the Extreme Edition has slightly improbed picture. The Extreme Edition looked significantly better even on a 27" TV. However, the extras are pretty lackluster after all the stuff that was on the Ultimate Edition.

Use a special code to get 5 dvds for $.49 each plus one more for $14.95, buy 2 more at regular price to full fill your membership. Many things contribute like special offers like buy 2 get 1 free, and free shipping on 3 or more titles. Your average per dvd by fulfilling a membership of 8 or 9 dvds can easily average out to less than $8...$7... per dvd. Check it out and enjoy. I'll be expecting a nice gift from you for Christmas for showing you the way.

Dude, I'm not gonna argue with you, but what I say is true... and there is NO pressure. I have personally bought about 200 dvds from CH at a total average price of less than $7. Every time I want to close an account (which I've had 23 so far) I just use the automated system on their website! No pressure unless your intimidated by a computer. You owe it to yourself to do it. Stop paying $20 for dvds at Best Buy for pete's sake. God luck.
