Bug in corner of certain Blu-Ray discs?

[Joe Redifer]

I have yet to encounter this, but I have heard it described by a few friends. Basically there is a bug that appears in the corner of the screen as you are viewing a movie (for example: Ratatouille) which shows up to alert you that there is some special extra nonsense about the scene you are currently watching. This sounds ultra-mega annoying and would actually prevent me from purchasing a movie. A friend of mine has the movie mentioned above and a Samsung 1400 Blu-Ray player, and there isn't any way that he can find to turn this annoying bug off permanently. I also hear that HD DVD discs do this even more.

So my questions are these:

-Is there a way to turn that nonsense off on the Samsung 1400?

-Will this same BS happen if I play the same movie in the PS3 (which is what I use)?

-Why would the studios dare do this? Do they simply want to annoy their customers? I do not consider this a feature, but actually a deal-breaker.

Thanks.
