Do Warner Bros. titles from Netflix include special features? - Blu-ray Forum

I'm thinking of renting Clash of the Titans from Netflix, but I want to know if the blu-ray will include the special features. I know that Fox and Disney have dropped the special features on their rental discs for new releases, but I'm not sure if Warner Bros. has done the same.

Anyone know?

My Book of Eli from Netflix said "RENTAL version" on it, and had no special features. Just the film.

here's what the netflix details page has to say:

(warner bros.) clash of the titans: "Color; interactive menus; scene access."

my gut says no extras.

You have to remember that Warner has a 28 day window period for Netflix and Redbox. Which means they can easily now press a Rental Version with no special features since consumers have to wait 28 days to rent it.

The Book of Eli more than likely is the beginning of a trend. It's just Warner's way of pushing consumers to purchase titles rather than rent them.

Fox and Universal have also signed similar agreements but my copy of Leap Year is labeled Rental but all the special features and BD-Live functionality is there.

Usually, they don't and have RENTAL written across the top of the disc.

ok, thanks. I guess it won't have the special features.

Out of curiosity can you actually buy rental copies?
If you can, where can you?

Blockbuster or your local mom & pop rental outlet (if your mom & pop shop doesn't "get inventory at Wal-mart").
