Yes, it is a big deal that FOX studios are still releasing titles using MPEG2!
Yes, it is a big deal that studios like FOX and Disney are not releasing the unrated versions of movies!
Yes, it is a big deal that studios are not putting enough extras on the disc when there is 50gb of space!

If Blu-ray wants to take over DVD they are going to have to better than this.

I would rather not have 18 hours of junk taking up space on a disk since I will never watch it. I would rather have a high quality encode (regardless of whether it is MPEG2 or AVC or VC1) with lossless audio. I buy a title for the movie not the extras. If extras were so important, why do studios not advertise the extras rather than the movie? Simple, because no one buys a title because of the extras.

BD is already doing better than DVD by providing hi def video and audio - which is exactly what the format was meant to do.
