The great region rip off continues!!!!

[octanejunkie]

After amassing 2000+ DVD's, i've finally upgraded my equipment and gone blu. On the whole i'm over the moon with the technology, especially as many discs are coming to market region free.
Yay, everyone gets the same, no need to buy assorted different copies of your movies to get the best version/features..... WRONG!!!!!
This was alway irritating when collecting DVD's, more so with movies of the horror and action genres, often cut or edited, different soundtracks etc, etc.
After searching out some of my favourite films and buying on Bluray, i find its happening again! "Arrrgghh"!!!

I only have about 20 blurays so far, but nearly half of them have got issues!

Terminator 2 for example: US gets theatrical cut, lossy sound.. UK gets directors cut, DTS HD Master
US Rambo trilogy box set gets commentrys, trivia, and documentrys applicable to each movie. UK version gets no features at all, save for the same short featurette on each disc.

These are just two examples of the baffling way that movies are continuing to be released to home viewers. I could go on... (God knows whats going on in Aisia)
Can distributors not get together so we can have a global release of some kind, with the best of all these seperate versions? Its not like Blurays are strapped for space to contain different soundtracks and subtitles.
And why are some classic movies like Predator for example not getting any features? I've bought the disc now, but i know i'm going to have to shell out again when a "decent" version comes out.
I luuurve my movies and i like to get the best out of them, but i'm nearly always left disapointed by the studios mean, greedy and piss-taking attitude towards its customers.

I'll shut up now, but i thought with Blurays prices and the studios and manufacturers keeness to promote the technology, they'd stop stabbing us all in the back...... again
