Differences between T2 Ultimate and Extreme
Target has a good price on the Extreme and I was wondering if an upgrade was necessary. What the concensus around here on the head to head?

I would get it, particularly if you have a nice setup. The image quality is dramatically better if you have a large monitor. Plus, the new commentary from Jim Cameron is terrific. This is a case where it's good to have both editions. The Ultimate Edition has supplements that haven't carried over to the Extreme.

I sold the UE for get the EE. The video quality is far better on the EE. I do have a 61" display which makes these things more noticable.
The extras are better on the UE, but they are never a deciding factor for me.

Extras are better on UE, picture quality is better on EE, but sound quality is better on UE as it has a DTS-ES soundtrack. I kept my UE and haven't regretted it. I only have a 32" flat screen so upgrading to the EE for picture quality wouldn't really be worth it.

What about the extended cut on the UE where you have to enter in a few numbers in the menu to view is (it's been a while, I don't remember what the numbers are). Is that verions on the EE too?

Actually, yes. The EE version is the extended cut, and there is an easter egg to watch the theatrical cut.

DVD Talk Limited Edition
See here for a full comparison of all versions, but here is an excerpt addressing your question . . .
OVERALL : Draw - Region 1 Ultimate Edition has the 3 different versions of the movie. (However, the R2 UE releases do have the extra scenes from the "extended version" as deleted scenes, but they are not in the movie itself. The Region 1 release uses Seamless Branching to put the deleted scenes in the correct place).
The Extreme Edition also includes a new HD transfer, plus new extras not on the Ulimate Edition release, but doesn't have a DTS soundtrack.
A true fan would own both!
Also, the French 4-disc "Final Edition" has an extra documentary, but in French only.
