How many of you want blu-ray movie only. - Blu-ray Forum

ACEOFSPADES · 07-05-2009, 10:14 AM

Hi all,was wondering how many of you blu-ray lovers would want the movie only on the disc with all 50 gig used and being a cheaper price .as i very rarely watch extras and if i did would probably only ever watch extras once.just a question.i would rather the price dropped and had movie only.with one of the lossless codecs.

also how many would actually watch extras more than once.

I watch extras more then once. There is no point of having the movies picture and audio encoded to the max 50GB because you get to certain point that the bitrate no matter how high it is you wont be able to tell the difference with one that takes up say only 30GB or so. Look at the Blade Runner BD it uses 25GB for picture, several lossless and lossy audio tracks and subtitles yet looks better then some BD's that are encoded on 50GB discs.

It depends on the movie, and the existing quality.

Some movies I want to know everything about it; others I just want the movie.

Alliance does this already for some Canadian releases such as Sin City.

The extras like BURN-E on WALL-E - love that little short.
The Pixar shorts on the various discs - love those too.
The extras like commentaries - never watch.
The PiP commentaries ontop of the movie as it plays - never watch

BD-Live is where all the fluff should be - or on the second disc like in Transformers or WALL-E or Speed Racer or ...

Yes! I would prefer a fully utilized disc for just the movie itself.

this could be one of the worst threads ever

Nah. Not saying it's good, but i've seen much, much worse. Heck, i've probably started much worse threads.

Yeah, as bad as the last 20 threads we've had about this.

I love extras. The more the better. Especially audio commentaries. And have refused to upgrade to the Blu-Ray when they're not at least carried over. It's not an upgrade when you're losing so many great extras.

And cutting the extras is not going to lead to cheaper prices. That's just wishful thinking. Look at all the barebones Blu-Rays that have the same pricepoint as fully loaded editions. It's just not gonna happen.

i agree with you 100% Here in Canada we're getting these bare bones Alliance releases and I refuse to buy them. Sure they're "cheap" ranging between 15-25ish, but for that price why can't I get the included features from the DVD? whenever i'm bored at home, i'll throw on a BD and listen to commentary, or watch behind the scenes, etc. i can't imagine how many hours i have spent on TDK for this reason alone

I agree with you completely as well. The extras have little to no effect on the price. I do think they need to lower prices somewhat, but that is not how it's going to be done.

I know that the extras don't affect the price, but if I had the option of paying less for a blu-ray with just the movie, and the AQ and PQ didn't suffer any, then I would be all over it. I never watch extras so it would be a no-briner for me. But as someone said above, that's just "wishful thinking."
