Sony now doing what Fox did few years back - Blu-ray Forum

lgans316 · 10-12-2009, 05:36 AM

I am glad that Sony switched to DTS-HD MA from Dolby TrueHD. However, most of their recent releases hardly features extras with some of them being released on BD-25. Is this because Sony intentionally wants their customers to take the Superbit route by possessing twin copies of their releases, one with extras and one without it ?

Can Insiders chime in and give opinion about this new trend of Sony w.r to releasing in BD-25 and not featuring extras on BD-50 discs ?

Maybe when they did their HD Master of any film, it probably came out to be a BD-25 in size so they figure, "Hey, lets not add any more space to it! It's good to go!"

Can you give specific examples because Wolf and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, for instance, did not have extras on DVD either.

The Craft, however, includes all of the extras from the DVD.

Superbit was essentially a bomb on the market. There's nothing wrong with BD-25 if there's no supplements on a low complexity movie, which all of these have been. There weren't any extras to put on, and even if there were they would have only amounted to a few gigs and in SD anyway.
