Dont be so ignorant.

Its not a matter of being lazy. Its a matter of not every player being able to get out of this with ease (and its not like I have some jim bob player) and thus, having to suffer through something that nobody really should.

If I wanted to sit through 20 minutes of previews, Id go to the damn movies.

You "skip ahead with the chapter button" guys are missing the point completely.

Instead of saying "Yea, it sucks, deal with it, dont be lazy", and take the easy way to poke fun, why not actually say not continue in with this other growing trend of "so what if its not working right, its HD DUDE!!" and actually expect more out of the high price of these things.

Why not think, "You know what, hes right, it is silly we cant just bypass this, a medium not nearly as good (DVD) has this on every single disc and player".

I dont care that the previews are there (and tons of them). I care that I have to click a button 7+ times to get there. Try and expect more from your next gen. Dont settle for half ass.

I agree that previews can be annoying, but are nice at times to see a clip of a upcoming movie.

You cannot skip past the FBI warning, but after that you can either skip or fast forward on your remote to get past these.

I work with geniuses like you from time to time. The "Duct Tape" generation as I like to refer to them as. The guys who will throw a band aid over something every day, and do the same quick fix over and over instead of finding a way to fix it right the first time, and not have to deal with it again.

I expect more from Blu-ray. Apparently you dont. Yes, its just previews. Yes, we can hit the chapter button. All im trying to point out is, why should you have to? That may be ok for you, but it irks me.

+1 I'm also sick of so many previews on discs. It's not so much of a big deal if you can just skip all of them by pressing 'Menu'. But on 3:10 to Yuma, you can't. There are literally as many previews as going to a more expensive movie theater.

Yes, you can 'easily' skip the previews by hitting skip a total of 7 times. But I paid full price for that movie. And for that, I'd expect they'd at least let you skip to the menu.
