packhater · 12-10-2008, 03:12 AM

This really pisses me off!!!!! What were they thinking???? The second disc that comes with Hellboy 2 is a DVD..It's not a BLURAY!!!!

WHY????????

Even the packaging says...
Special Features...
1080i/p High-Definition and 480i/p Standard Definition

Isn't anyone else out there as pissed as I am about this????

I can't believe the guy who reviewed this didn't have something to say about this other than simply mentioning this!

I want my BLURAY movies to ahve BLURAY special features!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't buy a BLURAY only to receive this crap!!!!!!

It's not that it's not Blu Ray it's just that it's not HD. This is actualy very commen. A lot of Blu Rays are like that. If I were you I would get used to it.

This is the reason I refuse to buy that Matrix Ultimate Box Set because aside from the four movies (including Animatrix) the other discs are all DVDS not Blus.

I'll just wait until the four are able to be purchased separately and then buy those.

It's blatant cheapness to not put the extras on a blu disc.

danbrch · 12-10-2008, 03:17 AM

I'm cool with it, as long as the "movie" is 1080p Blu-ray Disc

ThingontheFloor · 12-10-2008, 03:23 AM

I'm assuming it's because the disc includes a digital copy so would need to be a DVD as most computer drives don't read BD yet. Now if they should've made it a 3-disc edition, maybe, but the bonus features probably would've been SD anyways. Are there no bonus features on the main disc? I don't care enough to pop it in and see. I really hope no one is as "pissed" about this as you are, for health's sake.

packhater · 12-10-2008, 03:25 AM

I'm very well aware of the digital copies being on a dvd. The point is that the special features come on a dvd and it's even listed on the packaging as being in hidef which is NOT the case. This is false advertisement and no I won't get used to it.

Aerodude73 · 12-10-2008, 03:30 AM

as the dude wrote above, as long as the Movie is in 1080P Blu, then the Special Features are usually 1080i or 720p from what i've read in the reviews here.

packhater · 12-10-2008, 03:50 AM

Are you serious...you don't care? I sure as hell care when I buy a hd player and a hd disc...I care even more when the packaging says its in 1080i/p and hd!!!!! Have you bought the movie???Did you see the packaging? Read the back...its on there. Don't you find it a tad misleading?

why should there be a sd disc in there with sd material when I bought a BD? I know some of it is in sd, I'm not an idiot but to put in a sd dvd is just a ripoff!

Here are a few movies I have with HD special features on a BD disc 2....
TDK
WallE
Hulk
Transformers
Cars
Iron Man

Would you be happy with those special features on dvd/sd???

You should look into upping your medication. And stop buying movies. It's obviously stressing you out.

Seriously, this isn't a big deal. I haven't even popped the second disc into my player.

Beast · 12-10-2008, 03:55 AM

It's just the extras. And would have likely been in SD anyway.

Plus it was nice to see them combining the usually pointless Digital Copy with the extras disc.

If u look at the review, is says

'Disc two of this set is a DVD that contains several supplemental features, all presented in standard definition, as well as a digital copy of the film. First on the disc is a prologue (0:23) with director Guillermo del Toro.'

normally I dont really care abt the digital copy, i really seldom use it.

as for matrix, I got the trilogy from this website at Australia $$66 = SGD $66, i only want the 3 movies, not really interested in all those extras which I never bother to view them.

Exactly. The Special Features on Disc 1 are in 1080i/p.

The Special Features on Disc 2 which is a DVD are in 480i/p.

jw · 12-10-2008, 01:40 PM

everyone went on the DVD attack or who cares mode. Disc 2 is a DVD because it contains the digital copy and has to be inserted in your PC to get that feature. Now had they have used a blu-ray you would have started a thread complaining the digital copy wouldn't work, etc.....
