Best Terminator DVD set?

I'd like to get the first two Terminator films on DVD, but I believe
that there are different boxed sets available ("Ultimate" or
"Extreme", etc).
Which set is better, and how do they differ?

Since you live in the US, this is what to look for in Region 1:

For the first movie, there is a Special Edition available from MGM.

For the second movie, there is an Ultimate Edition (which has the best
supplements but a dated picture transfer) or an Extreme Edition (which
has the best picture quality, and a few decent supplements). Both are
availabe from Artisan.

Since each of the three Terminator movies is owned by a different movie
studio (T3 comes from Warner Bros.) you won't see a box set packaging
them together.

It's also notable that the older "Ultimate Edition" has a DTS soundtrack
while the Extreme Edition does not.

So to be safe, just get both!
