Blu-ray contents must haves - Blu-ray Forum

Extra content is nice.

But it is PQ that is the MAIN selling point of Blu-ray.

And as I get older my eyes really are thankful for it.

Unless it carries over all the extras from the DVD release... and/or more, I don't upgrade.

I love extras. And there's no reason that with the space available we should be getting bare bone releases.

cough cough...bare bones.....aka Kingdom of Heaven...How do you go from a 4-disk dvd set to a 1 disk blu-ray with only a theatrical trailer?

I agree with you, sfmarine, because the same thing can be said for Big Fish. When Sony first released it on DVD, it had a ton of extras. And then when they released Big Fish on Blu-ray, all we got was a Tim Burton commentary. While Big Fish may have been well-recommended for all Blu-ray collections, I may actually hold off on the current release until Sony releases a proper version of the film on Blu-ray, one with all the extras that were included on the regular DVD.

Ya...I'm a fan of BigFish too and I was ticked when I found out the bd release of BF was bare-bones.

I want more of interviews for extras and seeing how they made it. The most important thing for a BD is great quality.

No... not for me it isnt. Audio Quality is by far the most important thing in my opinion. There was a poll on here a while back. Alot of people agree with me.

Anyway... Welcome to blu-ray.com

I don't care much for the extras, but I will usually watch any extended scenes, bloopers, and all the trailers. Don't care at all for "Making of" type features.

One thing I would like to see more of is including the unrated/extended cuts along with the theatrical release. With seamless branching this can be done easily without sacrificing PQ/AQ

I bet I'm in the minority on this, but I love it when there is PiP commentary.

tiger roach · 07-01-2008, 02:52 PM

I can take it or leave it.

I haven't yet watched an item of "extra content" on a BD. I have been meaning to put in Sunshine and turn on the PIP just to see it at work.
