I just discovered a new easter egg for this, and have submitted it.

In addition to the random method described in the previous easter egg, there is also a hidden index menu to the interviews, which allows you to choose any of the segments directly.

Go to Special Features, then choose DVD ROM Features. Once there, press on your remote control 1, Select, 8, Select, 1, and finally Select.

Just found a copy of the foil-cover SE DVD at my local Best Buy today, so there's still some out there.

It's frustrating that MGM kept the same UPC. I can understand the foil-cover and non-foil-cover having the same UPC, since it's the same SE disc, but when they switched to the non-SE, they should've used a different UPC. Now people don't know what they're going to get if they order online, and worse, some people don't know that there is an SE since all the websites now just list the non-SE.

Anyone know why MGM downgrades these DVDs? It's not like the releases took up two discs in the first place. Do they have to pay royalties on the special features or something? (edit): Just noticed that the SE's are double-sided, while the non-SE's are not. Anyone know what the price difference is between a double-sided and single-sided disc?

Lucky for you dude, to find the 1st press cover of it. Its hard now a days.

Aha, that would explain what happened when I ordered it from Amazon and they still had the special features listed. That's pretty damn shitty on MGM's part.

Good you found the old holographic SE so easily! A nice edition.

Thanks. It was completely by accident, I didn't even know the foil cover existed. I was just browsing the DVDs when the cover caught my eye because, well, it's shiny. It was only after I got home that I found this thread.

I have seen a few out in the wild since I purchased mine, however none were the foil version. I've seen them at the Wegman's (grocery store) and CVS (drug store). If you really need to find this at retail try looking in places like that.

Thanks to this thread...
 

Just on a lark while I was out DVD browsing today (went to a Border's, 2 Best Buy's) simply looking for anything, but because I glanced at this thread yesterday, I decided while I was out I would just peek at the 'Sci-Fi' sections just to see if this infamous "foil" cover was there (since I always wanted that one). Nothing in the Border's and the 1st Best Buy, but...

I went to the second Best Buy which was on the way home and low and behold among the dozens of T2's and T3's, and about 4 Terminators. 2 were the crappy bare-bones MGM's. 1 was the non-foil SE and sure enough, hardly noticing from the side view, was a true to life "The Terminator" (Special Edition w/ Foil Cover).

I could hardly believe it since I never find rarities when I am actually looking for them. Obviously, I had to look at it a few times, manipulating it so the light hits it, but it was the real thing. I quickly scanned the section for others, but alas this was the sole survivor and I am so psyched!

So why did they do away with this special "foil" cover anyway?

Its their first press release packaging tease to the consumers.

MGM, normally do this kind of things with their Special Editions.

what I didn't like about Terminator SE is that Cameron did an audio commentary for the deleted scenes and none for the movie. If he was sitting in a studio for that, he should have just done one for the movie as well. Overall, it's a solid DVD despite that.

I must be the only one who didn't really care for the 'foil cover' edition, it looked kinda stupid to me.

I went out of my way to get the non foil cover SE. to each his own I guess.

Glad I got when I did, I had no idea it was going oop or was currently oop 'til I read the thread

i don't think the non-foil SE is OOP.

my bad, I thought they pulled it and replaced it with the MGM regular edition

The SE is OOP. MGM replaced it with a single-sided non-SE disc, which has the same UPC as the SE. The same thing happened to Bowling for Columbine, and I think several other MGM DVDs.

well then, the regular SE is def. still available however.
