Bonus Features

[billygreen23]

The primary reason that I want to own movies is for the bonus features. I love director commentaries, making of's, shorts, etc.

My understanding is that iTunes has bonus features for a lot of movies, but iTunes digital codes aren't available from all studios. I'd also prefer to not have my digital movies separated between iTunes and UV. What is the state of bonus features for UV? I'm also feeling like it's all or nothing. I'd rather not have any digital movies at all if it's going to be a segmented mess with hardly any bonus features.

Disney movies are covered because Disney Movies Anywhere is amazing and exactly what I want as far as bonus feature support. I just wish there was something like that for all movies.

Anyone else in the same conundrum? Any suggestions? Thanks!

In today's current digital world, going by your first sentence, you should continue to purchase the discs. You will get more bouns features that way. UV has some, iTunes has some, but discs will have them all.

For me, I am not in that situation. I couldn't care less about a bonus feature. If they would sell the same movie at a reduced price without bonus features I would be happy with that. Just another reason I purchase UV codes here.

If I was paying full price (or sale price) for movies, I would never choose digital over discs. Digital is usually more expensive, and with a disc, most times you get a digital/UV code at the same price you would have bought the digital only version for.

Currently, I do not believe if you are into special features that you should be buying movies directly from iTunes/Vudu/Amazon/MGO/TargetTicket, or any other digital service.
