I've said I don't really see the point of mass-buyings, but if one would EVER speak to the studios, getting people to buy this movie would be it. It would show them that we really want HD movies, and aren't too concerned about the other stuff. I know people on here do want the special features, but more of what I read on here is people saying they don't care about them much.

The trouble with this is that it sends out the message to Warners that they can get away with releasing inferior products and people will actually thank them for it.

I have no real interest in the film (just in the disparity between the releases across the formats), but I would be very concerned that by buying a film I liked on Blu-ray that was missing features that appeared on the HD-DVD release, I would effectively be saying to Warners "just go ahead and treat your BD customers with disdain".
