I'm Avoiding Fox for now - Blu-ray Forum

robgmun · 03-26-2008, 06:33 PM

With the last few releases it obvious whats going on. Yeah sure they have great PQ and SQ but they're purposely holding back the extras, even the best one so far (I, Robot) has only half the extras of the DVD release. Disney and other studios seem to be better at this front. But Fox will no doubt re-release these films a year or two down the line with 2-disc special editions. They did with DVD and ther're doing it again on BD, i got burned last time. Fool me once and all that...

My choice, i don't feel i'm missing out because i got the nice 2-disc special edition DVD's until they sort there act out

shrug, your choice of course. For me I would only double dip if the transfer or audio was enhanced. Extras I could give a rats a$$ about.

ClaytonMG · 03-26-2008, 06:37 PM

So... why not watch the features on the DVD instead? Oh well, your choice...

Brian Cash · 03-26-2008, 06:39 PM

why do people give a sh*t about extras i buy a movie to watch a movie i have betters things to with my life then to watch how they made the film or what not

MosHighDef · 03-26-2008, 06:41 PM

after watching a 2-3 hour movie, there is no way i can watch the extras without falling asleep. I have tried many times

Sonny · 03-26-2008, 06:41 PM

Every studio double-dipped on DVD, and every studio will double-dip on Blu-Ray.

I agree.. extras don't really mean diddly to me. PQ and SQ of the main film is what I care about.

Gremal · 03-26-2008, 06:48 PM

Extras, shmextras. I care about the movie.

ManUtd · 03-26-2008, 06:49 PM

Add me to the don't-care-about-extras club. I also don't care which studio a movie I like is from. I just want to watch movies.

Scorxpion · 03-26-2008, 06:56 PM

All i care about is for PQ and SQ for this reason i already planning to buy I-Robot after Live free or die hard, Kingdom of Heaven, Fantastic Four rise of the silver and X-Men last stand.

Maybe Hitman (I need this movie badly) is on my hit list after this review:

Stiny-Ray2 · 03-26-2008, 06:57 PM

Speaking of Extras i wished some of those came with a half decent interactive game. As of now extras blow bubbles.

Hitman has an absolutely INSANE audio track. I swear I cream my pants every time I watch the Hotel raid scene.

I think most are triple dipping or more. I think they come out with a new version of It's a Wonderful Life on DVD every Christmas.

ground chuck · 03-26-2008, 06:59 PM

avoiding a whole movie distributor b/c of extras is dumb.

statikcat · 03-26-2008, 07:02 PM

The movie will probably have an updated encoding 2 years down the road as well. So in addition to new features you get a better PQ. Milk was spilt, you cry.
