Will There Be Commercials On BDs?

Trailers are complete bullshit.

If MSRP on a disc is $40, I should be able to skip through every single trailer on the disc and go straight to the menu, or the movie should immediately start playing. This goes for commercial releases especially, since most collector's items (Blade Runner 5 disc set) usually do immediately go into the film.

I think it was Casino Royale or Gone Baby Gone that made it so I had to skip every trailer individually. I was insulted.

If I'm buying a budget disc, I'll put up with some trailers. $9.99 big-box priced disc? That's cool. I accept that. Again though, if MSRP on some DVD is $25, or $40 Blu ray, I better not have to see a single trailer. I'm paying for that privelidge.

are you guys talking about movie trailers as "commercials" or commercials like we see in actual tv?...i don't mind the trailers as long as they aren't like tv commercials....then again you can always skip either....

I don't think the OP wants commercials... just wondering if anyone thought it might happen.

Right. I remember when Phantom Menace came out in the theatre. Lucas wanted 100% of concession money too, for the opening week....Of course he only got like 80%. I'll never forget that.

I had thought the same thing.... Can't go anywhere without seeing advertisements anymore. How many times have I seen the dumb mini people appear in the corner during movies.... And the ones with sound are even worse....
