No listing for the original mono soundtrack in this simplified stats chart...

So, pretty much a port of the UK release from a month or two back?

Yo, Johnny, you got a link to your source?

Not surprising, really. At least they didn't pull a Highlander where the UK release was packed and the US release was a step above barebones.

Fox has quietly sent out versions of the old disc with new artwork. They must be trying to blow out the old discs before this new one arrives.

Here is the artwork for the remastered edition, per HTF:

I, on the other hand, think it's quite unsurprising.

Dang typo. I corrected it.

If this is an exact port, might as well import for the same price.

I'm planning on skipping. Don't watch the one I have enough to care to double dip on this one unless I run across it for $5 or something.

i have the UK, put into my Anthology set, so i am good. figured it would come out though.

I've held off upgrading my DVD copy for this... Day 1 purchase for me!

Apparently, on the UK release, "Creating The Terminator" was edited down to 12 minutes from its original 1 hour length. WTF?

It's that crazy PAL speedup.

and I just ordered the import, just my misluck and timing.

I know Cameron is busy working on the Avatar movies, but I really wish he would have done a commentary track on part 1. After all, this movie was his baby and helped launch one of the most successful science fiction franchises of all time.

The stupid MGM special edition DVD and the previous BD, which I own, have the same extras as this release with only Cameron's commentary on the deleted scenes.

Nice to see this is coming out. I've got the other three on Blu-ray but held off on buying the original as I've heard it needed a remaster. I'll pick this one up for sure.

Still kinda hoping we get a T2 that has PQ on par with the German HD DVD ultimate edition.

Wasn't it supposed to come with a new commentary?... Thought I remembered mentioned on another thread a while ago.

the 5.1 remix on the special edition dvd is soooo bad and gimmicky that i can't listen to it, i always go to the mono track. Shame Fox is too lazy to port that track over (even it if isn't a lossless version of it

Finally. So glad we get to own this on Blu-ray.

Back when Sony controlled the MGM Catalog a new Terminator release was being prepped. The project was cancelled, but some work had already been done. A commentary track that was edited from multiple sessions with different actors was planned. Lance Hendrickson talked about recording a track. I have no idea why this isn't being put into this release.

Whoever is assembling this release is clearly attempting to anger and disappoint as many people as possible.

That may be the reason, and the only reason hahahaha.
