And that is exactly my point...its not about Blu-ray vs HD DVD, your question is about what to charge for extras.

So there you go...2 titles on HD DVD from the same distributor, same price....one has features, one does not. Sounds like the HD DVD owners are getting "ripped off" just as often as we are...the difference is we don't drink the cool aid.

So like I said before, only the distributors can establish what the dollar value of extras are...and the above is clearly showing you that the dollar value of extras is ZERO.


The value of the product lies in the movie - where it should.
