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?

I'll see if I can find out the basis for the added value decisions on BHD.
If the seamless branched titles, Spiderman 2 and Close Encounters are well received, we may try to use that feature more for those titles that have multiple versions. It will take a fair bit of research to find out why a particular version of a title was released over another, but we suspect that consumers will like the idea of getting the version they prefer on the same disc.
