Terminator 2 to be sold on HD DVD

Artisan Home Entertainment's decision to release Terminator 2: Extreme DVD in the high-definition (HD) DVD-ROM format has some industry executives scratching their heads.

Therefore, executives are questioning the wisdom of releasing a version of a movie that can only be played on high-end PCs that run Microsoft's Windows Media Player 9. No other movie studios currently have plans to release movies on HD DVD.

The two-disc June 3 release, which retails for $29.98, also includes a digitally remastered version of the 1991 film with new features that will play on conventional DVD players.
