Add me to the list of people who couldn't possibly care less about pip. I can do without 99% of the so-called "special" features, which have basically become useless interviews with cast members kissing the director's and other cast members' asses. Deleted scenes and bloopers are cool, and occasionally there are some cool making of features, but as far as something that plays at the same time as the movie, I'm fine with audio and the occasional video commentaries. No need to postpone many good releases for a feature a majority of users will skip over. I read Bill Hunt's article on HDi and the interactive features it offers and had basically the same reaction: so what? It boils down to content and the quality of said content. You can add a $20k premium sound system to a Hyundai Accent, but after you get over the sound system, you're left with the Hyundai.
