All the studios are "greedy". Period.

That's a generalization which ignores the fact that different studios behave differently. Fox behaves much worse than Warner does, and no amount of glossing over with a broad brush changes that. And Tony did a good job of pointing out Jari's failure to acknowledge Shaun clearly blaming studios for their behavior.

Re: I, Robot: Fox Keeps Screwing Fans of Extras


Ken calls it out again, this time re Commando.

Quote:
Aside from a theatrical trailer presented in high definition, the Blu-ray edition of 'Commando' doesn't include a single significant feature. Meanwhile, the Director's Cut standard DVD has a director's commentary, a featurette, deleted scenes, and an extensive still gallery. I have to say I'm growing weary of Fox's current high-def strategy -- the studio may make extra money by releasing a future, definitive release of 'Commando,' but it seems like a cold disservice to fans that punishes their early adoption and support of high definition.

I may sound too hard on the studio, but Fox needs to get its act together and find a balance between their profits and the sort of quality their fans deserve.

Re: I, Robot: Fox Keeps Screwing Fans of Extras


I just got the I Robot Bluray and I am unsure as to what is missing because it appears to have quite a lot of supplements. Could someone give me a breakdown of what is missing from the 2-disc SE DVD
Thanks

Walk on, Walk on, with hope in your heart and you'll never walk alone,

In addition to skimming the thread before posting, I recommend scrolling down to the supplements section of Ken Brown's thorough review (linked to earlier in this thread).

Though not perfect--they have a tendency to forget dropped trailers (or things like the isolated film score on FINAL FANTASY: THE SPIRITS WITHIN) when they say "all extras have been ported over"; having said that, they are the best source for this type of information I can find so far...



Ernest Hemingway once wrote, \"The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.\" I agree with the second part...

Thanks Paul. I did skim the thread and must have missed the link
