I have to ask, does this Blu ray have better picture quality for this title than the previous? I heard it's been rumored to.

http://www.amazon.com/Terminator-2-Judgment-Day-Blu-ray/dp/B00UFMKSDW/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1436994143&sr=1-1&keywords=terminator+2+blu

Or maybe I should wait next year, for the potential 25th anniversary 4K restored Blu ray.

Also, is the HD digital download compatible with iTunes?

2/10, would not bang. Won't buy unless it's less than $9.99. So I guess we'll get these released time and time again, but no True Lies and Abyss. Fab.

Same dated master. Less DNR. In other words, it's mediocre instead of appalling.

Yeah, don't pay more than $10 for it, though.

1. So...I should probably wait til next year for a potential 25th anniversary 4K release?

2. Is the digital download iTunes friendly?

Thanks.

1. Cameron has to approve any remaster, so, uh, I'm assuming we'll see a 4K master next decade?

2. Yes. Lionsgate's digital copies work on both iTunes and Ultraviolet.

it also features the original 5.1 soundmix not the 6.1 DD EX / DTS-ES

there is a DTS-X headphone mix as well.

And a better encode (AVC) , not as soft as the old one ... You just don't get the third cut...

Yes it does.

If you are a fan of the movie, you will not regret getting this.

Best its looked and probably will look until will get a proper remaster from Cameron.

I bought the HD-DVD German steelbook version a while back and it looked pretty good. Grainy in areas but I prefer that over any DNR.

The new Blu-ray doesn't have any DNR.

Unfortunately, my computer is just one generation too old to use the "Flixter" download thingamajig. (Also the fact that I had to sign up for Flixter was a burn). So no movie download for me.

I miss the good old days where you could just get an iTunes code and download it and that's that.
