Default Which blu-ray feature annoys you the most?

Well, it looks like the crash will allow me to bring this topic back to life with hopefully enough poll choices to keep everyone happy.

So, let's all vote again, which feature annoys you the most or if they don't annoy you, which do you think the studios have in place to ensure they get the most bang for their buck?

1) 3D

2) Digital / UV Copies

3) Special packaging (Slipcovers, Steelbooks, Collectors Packaging)

4) Box sets released prior to single disc release (Example: Fox & Hound 2-Movie pack released prior to individual releases)

5) Too many or unnecessary extras (director's cut, unrated version, commentary)

6) Bare boned rentals (rentals that don't include any extras and at times might have lower quality audio)

Bare bone rentals, I'd prefer not to buy everything just to see the extras.

featurettes & behind-the-scenes/interviews that only play while the movie is playing. i prefer to watch the movie first, then watch all the supplements...

The promotional material at the beginning of some Blu-ray discs that promotes the Blu-ray format. Um...hello? I've already got Blu-ray, so there's no need to try to sell me on it further.

It's like buying a new car and being forced every time you start the car to listen to a radio station trying to sell you the car you are sitting in.

You did not include any of the ones that I would really pick, but this time I decided to go with UV/DC just because I don't always have a choice (i.e. movies that force you to pay for something you don't want because they don't offer the same movie without it)

but if you want a more complete answer.

1) when an individual film is sold first and years later only the box set is available (especialy when the new box set just include the exact same original).

2) useless different editions (you know what I mean, for example you have the regular theatrical cut-which came out first- and then the director/extended cut comes out and you decide to buy it just to find out they added an unnoticeable 1 minute in a fight scene . Or for a second one when they give you a choice to watch the original or alternate ending but then make a sequel which assumes the original ending was true.

3) I don't care if it is UV/DC or DVD it is when I don't have a choice and am forced to pay for a format I don't want.
