Personally, I'm with the OP on this one. I LOVE Blu-ray -- I've double-dipped on many favorite titles now because they look so much better -- but it burns me up to replace a DVD and get a Blu with LESS than it had on it.
Rocky was a good case in point -- the DVD had several nice extras, the Blu-ray -- nada. The Thing is missing many extras. It's A Wonderful Life is missing a piece about Frank Capra. A Christmas Carol is missing a little profile on Dickens. Army Of Darkness is missing some features. Miracle On 34th Street doesn't have the colorized version included like the DVD -- I'm not big on colorization, but it's a selling point for many people. I have several other titles like that. I love the improved PQ/AQ, but I shouldn't have to keep the DVD copy just to still have the extras that got removed.
Basically, if the studios want the general public to go Blu, they should never offer fewer features for more money.
