This is typical.
I decided to go for the R1 last time it was delayed and am very happy with my descision. I think it was one of the first R1 DVD's I purchased and since then I mostly buy from the USA.
Why would anyone with a multi region player wait for the R2 version!?
.. & wait you did :D

and all those people who have been waiting and now decided to get the R1 will miss out on the metal sleeve/case, it is now packaged with a cardboard sleeve.

I think R2 is missing a few bits, go for R1!!!! For complete sake :D
I got mine from France in the 5 disc box set with Total Recall: UE, so there!:D
R2 is missing the seamless branching for the other 2 versions of the film available on R1.
I would go R1.
Definitiely.

Which website has said it has been delayed?? I have checked out every site I know, and there is nothing about it being delayed. My 3 main shopping websites for R2 discs still all state the original release date... Amazon, Blackstar, Play247. They haven't changed the release date. And I looked on news/review websites... DVD Times, R2 project, etc... and none of them have reported the news.
So is the delay actually true? Or will T2 be released next week on time?

the French R2 has the Theatrical cut on 1 disc and the Special Ed (or maybe the Extendeded Special Ed - don't have it myself) on another disc, with the extras on a 3rd so that would be the next best thing... except that it apparently doesn't have DTS.
R1 is the way to go if you can.
This (http://www.dvdreview.net/) is the website in question. Just click on the 'The Force is strong with DVD' news item on the right, the story is at the bottom of the page.

I work in blockbuster video and we got our stock in for the monday release.
So i don't know what the hell is going on.
Perhaps DVD Review have made a mistake. Every website I have seen still state the 29th October release date.

All i can think of is that it must be a typing error and they mean 29th oct.

DVD Review have definitely made a mistake. T2 was moved from the 15th of October to the 29th of OCTOBER to avoid Star Wars. The 29th of November is a Thursday - Anyone know of any DVDS released on a Thursday??
This is information freely available in the DVD 'industry' mags.

Andy at The R2 Project reckons it's a mistake. Apparently the 29th of November is a Thursday. Need I say more...
Or perhaps they are short of stories, so made it up :confused:
Paul J is correct all the main news websites and well known retaillers still have it down as a 29 October release. I can't see why they would delay it further as Star Wars was out two weeks ago. It's not as if they Terminator 2 and SW:TPM were out on the same day.

I,ve watched a copy tonite and it is superb.
I,ve not seen any of the extras yet but the film itself is superb and the sound is out of this world.
I,ve only watched it useing 5.1 and it rocks, so god knows what the DTS version sounds like.
The picture quality is also superb.
If you ony have R2 go buy this on monday, beg,borrow or steal the money.

Ohhh, the website for DVD Review magazine. That's hardly a reliable source. That website wasn't updated for 3 months. Their "DVD of the week" (The Silence Of The Lambs) was the "DVD of the week" for 3 months! They have recently updated. But I never find their website as reliable as full online-only information sources.
i thought they stopped making it since they released the ulimate edition??

The R2 disc also has the DTS track and it sounds every bit as good as the R1 version.

Why?, it's totally inferior to the R1 version, which has been available for ages anyway.

robbiejm, how on earth can he play the r1 version on a r2 player, as he has stated he has??????
I think the r2 will be the one to have, simply because it has a superior PAL picture. I know the r1 version has 3 cuts of the film, but I've seen them all, and now only want to see the theatrical cut, because the extended cuts seriously harm the pace of the film. Anyway, you can still see the extra scenes on the extras disc. So how else is it inferior to the r1????

He was advising others to go buy the R2 version, I was just stating that the R1 version is better, which it is. I never said he should go and buy it.

You can see the 'theatrical cut' on the R1 version if you so wish, as well as the other 2 cuts, you actually have the choice see. And as for the 'superior PAL picture' argument, as has been stated on here countless times, NTSC has it's own advantages over PAL.

PAL = beautifully clear
NTSC = not so clear
I want to know how else the r2 is inferior apart from not having the 2 extended cuts, which I wouldn't ever bother watching again?????

nc's post = full-of-@@@@ statement
robbiejm's post = correct
I'm not going to add anything to the NTSC/PAL debate, except to say - how much MORE annoying is John Connor's voice going to be after a 4% speed-up? I don't think I could take it!
Also, nc is wrong in thinking that the R2 has the theatrical cut - it only features the Special Edition cut, so I guess he's going to have to buy the R1 (or French R2) now, because apparently he's "seen them all, and now only want to see the theatrical cut, because the extended cuts seriously harm the pace of the film". And I'd agree with him.

Re-read what he wrote, he says that if you can only play R2, get it because it is a great disc. He is not saying get it over the R1 version. Don't be so quick to jump on peoples backs!

Can't tell the difference between 2, mate :)
I think R2 is missing some extras, like the Japanese trailers!!! No tin either.
Thankyou Tob for the support.
SithLord - What is the problem? I owned the r1 and traded it on. I have watched the 2 longer cuts and prefer the theatrical cut. U have pointed out that the r2 has one of the longer cuts, so I will not get it. I watch films in NTSC and PAL, and on my system PAL is superior. Please grow up and cut out the abuse.

Jeez, I didn't expect such a condescending reaction! :rolleyes: Isn't it clear that I was simply correcting you where you needed correction?
Let's be honest, it was a little silly of you to go defending the reasons why you'll be buying the Region 2 version, when you didn't have the correct facts. :D I'm not disputing the fact that PAL is capable of a higher horizontal resolution than NTSC. I'm not denying that the Region 2 disc is good. What I am suggesting is that just because the British Region 2 disc is PAL, it doesn't make it the better disc. Now, I don't know all the facts surrounding this particular release, but not all PAL versions are better than their NTSC counterparts, especially if they are just converted from the NTSC source. This probably isn't the case with T2, but it's worth bearing in mind.
Actually, the only comment I made in my previous post relating to NTSC/PAL, regarded PAL speed-up issues - and it was a jokey one at that. Please be able to accept correction with good grace where you are actually wrong. It's nothing personal, you know. ;)
