This crap already came out a year ago and it was a Limited Edition. Apparently not limited edition enough since it's being re-issued. lol Hilarious when they call it "limited edition".

A "corrected" T2 disc will come out the same day as the True Lies and The Abyss Blu-rays that Bill has sworn were imminent for about six years now.

I know Bill Hunt isn't always the most liked guy, but I hope they correct the issue of a full remaster of the Special Edition.

Don’t hold your breath on Paramount correcting anything. We’d have a better chance with them releasing the corrected version in other regions before ours.

Yes, Lionsgate put out all releases of T2 on bluray, and the first 4k release.

Ah, true Adam. But even if Lionsgate released it here, I doubt they'll do any corrections on it. Have they in the past? I'm actually not sure. I don't think they've even acknowledged the issues with the 4K release. I don't hate Bill or DigitalBits, but I definitely wouldn't take his work on any releases to correct the issues. Guess we'll know when the umpteenth release comes out.

I still have the DVD which got the aluminum case. I never bothered to upgrade to blu-ray. I guess I'm not a huge fan.
This 4K seems to be the most controversial and the mother of all fuck ups from what I been reading. I'll avoid this one just in case of buyer's remorse.

So, I bought this 4K UHD for $7.99 on Black Friday at Best Buy.
I know the 4K master on here has gotten ridiculed for being shitty. But, on this specific release, there are 3 cuts of the movie. The theatrical cut, the special edition and the special edition extended cut from 2017.
So I figured I would get it for at least the decent BD that came with it and has the 3 cuts of the movie. Plus, if some of you are not aware, there is a new 1 hour documentary on the making of the movie that was filmed in 2017 and produced by Studio Canal. It has interviews with Cameron, Arnold, Brad Fiedel, Furlong, William Wisher and several others.
I watched the entire documentary yesterday and it's very good. Probably one of the better T2 behind the scenes documentaries that was made.
This is the 2nd version of T2 that I've gotten in HD. I still have the Skynet edition. But, I popped that one in the other day and it' a pretty shitty menu. The extras don't work anymore because they are powered by BD Live and that tech is no longer supported anymore on BD releases right? Because they would not load up at all and there was some loading issues because BD Live on that release was not working.
So after this, I think I am finally done with Terminator on home media. I have a BD, DVD and iTunes copy of Terminator. I have 2 BDs, 1 DVD and a 4K iTunes copy of T2. And I have T3 through Genisys on BD and of course I'll get Dark Fate when it comes out in 3 months or so.

If there's another 4k release the SE needs to be completely remastered.

The extended special edition cut from 2017 is 2 hours and 35 minutes. It was made for the 3D theatrical re-release in 2017.
