Lastly a request:
To port over all extras from SD editions. Even though the extras may only be available in standard def for us collectors repurchasing these titles, we feel shortchanged by not having everything available that previous SD editions had. Don't give collectors a reason not to upgrade.

Agreed.
Which segues to a question, Pg: would you please comment on the studio's calculus regarding whether or not such supplements get included or not? For instance, I'm specifically interested in
Black Hawk Down: I'm sure it was rights issues--specifically, the studio not wanting to pay A & E and PBS--but what was the thinking on the dropping from the BD of the "The True Story Of
Black Hawk Down" and "Frontline: Ambush In Mogadishu" documentaries that appeared on the outstanding standard def Deluxe Edition (especially given that the latter appeared on the SD Extended Cut released shortly before the BD).
BHD BD also occasions the question of what the calculus is regarding whether or not an "extended" or "director's" cut gets released on BD: for BHD and
Tears Of the Sun, it was the theatrical cuts.
The Patriot, however, is the Extended.
Might this mean we can look forward to subsequent BD releases of those titles which didn't include all their SD supplements upon first hitting BD?
