My only complaint about the package that Lionsgate has whipped up here is all the missing content. Why not include the theatrical cut via seamless branching and toss on all five of the movie's audio commentaries? It's hard to believe the amount of work required would have outweighed the payoff in terms of increasing the Blu-Ray's value. Hell, the differences between the Unrated and the Rated are minor enough that they really could've just stretched out the occasional gap of silence on the theatrical commentaries and included them over the UDC. I guess it's possible that Roth didn't want to devalue the DVD with the release of the Blu-Ray, but I'd still have preferred to see that content included on this disc.

Also absent: the feature-length gag "Chick-O-Vision", which used a special subtitle track to put a giant pair of "hands" over the screen whenever something scary happens. Zing. On the DVD, it was worth a chuckle, but it's no big loss.

i havent opened the bluray yet, but i was under the impression that all the commentaries carried over plus the new one they recorded.

No. The only two audio tracks present on the BD are the DTS-HD MA and the new commentary.

Re: WTF to the Anchor Bay Releases

To be fair, I imagine Roth looked at it like a positive concession. I remember reading in the booklet that came with the T2 Extreme Edition that they said they didn't port the features so that the Ultimate and Extreme editions would complement each other, and you wouldn't feel like you wasted money buying the first edition. Nonetheless, it still kinda sucks, too.
