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.

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

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).

actually that advice is very good.
hi def digest's reviews are usually very good and very thorough in letting you know what is extra and what is missing.

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...
