I'm definitely going to get Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid on Blu. Hopefully it will include the extras from the current release.

Re: Mrs. Doubtfire & Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid Blu-rays - 5/13
I'd buy both without blinking if I could count on Fox to incorporate the copious extras from the respective DVD releases (yes, I'm one of the lucky ones who's had the Behind-the-Seams edition of MRS. DOUBTFIRE since last year) but, since they never seem to, it'll likely be another pass for me...

Fox has been including most, if not all DVD extras on their BD releases since Fall '07 (save those titles that were originally scheduled for before that). It's MGM who has yet to port over extras.

Re: Mrs. Doubtfire & Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid Blu-rays - 5/13
I, Robot is listed as having the following:
Disc Features:
-Audio Commentaries
-Featurettes
-Fact Track
HD Exclusive Content:
Searchable Content Index
-Dual-Menu Navigation System
Independence Day is listed as having the following:
Disc Features:
• 2 Scene Specific Commentaries: Director Roland Emerich and Producer Dean Devlin / Oscar-Winning FX supervisors Volker Engel and Doug Smith
• 4 Theatrical Trailers
HD Exclusive Content:
• Interactive Game: "Alien Scavenger Hunt" (BD-Java)

Me, Myself and Irene had a commentary, deleted scenes, and the original trailer.
The Fly had all the bonus content from the DVD release. Mr. and Mrs. Smith had a fair amount of bonus content.
Shall I go on?

Yes, please do, because--with the exception of THE FLY--the titles you've listed offer only a fraction of the bonus features found on the SD counterparts and, as such, don't effectively ease my concern. If you're cool with truncated extras, more power to you--I know many share your mindset--but for me, when SD extras are left off the Blu-ray version, I'll be passing each and every time...

Re: Mrs. Doubtfire & Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid Blu-rays - 5/13
Well, I don't know how you can tell what "featurettes" on the I, Robot release are in full, but I digress. My point is that they are not barebones like they were a year ago.
In actuality, I rarely watch extras, and if I do it's usually once and done. I have 18 discs of Lord of the Rings and I think I've watched one documentary in 5+ years since I b | |
