Bill Hunt reports the new Iron Man blu ray will have an Easter Egg (not sure how much of an Easter Egg it is if we're all told about it in advance, but whatever). That's the first I've heard of an Easter Egg on a high-def disc.
By and large, are the studios abandoning Easter Eggs? I know some people don't miss them (to say the least), but I always found them sort of fun, as long as they weren't too difficult to navigate to.

There are several BD-titles with Easter Eggs. One quick google search:

I guess they're still more prevalent than I thought, but I still get the feeling they're going out of style.
That T2 "egg," I agree, takes the concept too far. No hidden feature should be that significant, or cumbersome to access.

Re: Are Easter Eggs a thing of the past?
Easter Eggs are the most moronic feature ever thought up. Really, what's the point? There isn't one other then having to waste time trying to find them.
I sure hope they are a thing of the past.

Re: Are Easter Eggs a thing of the past?
You wanna talk "complicated" Easter Eggs? Anyone remember the original 2-Disc "Independence Day"? In order to watch an EXTENSIVE set of "in movie" media broadcasts (and a few other featurettes, IIRC), you had to "levitate" a spaceship and enter a code on the numeral pad of your remote control with a *very* limited amount of time to complete the task. It took me MONTHS to accomplish the task...
I like Easter Eggs, but I don't out of my way to seek them out anymore. I also couldn't tell you the last time I listened to a commentary, either, and they were sometimes the deciding factor in buying a DVD that I was kind of "on the fence" about. I just don't have the time these days...
When she embraces, your heart turns to stone
She comes at night, when you're all alone
And when she whispers, your blood shall run cold
You'd better hide before she finds you...
