Agreed on this.
I also have little-to-no desire to spend big $$$ on all the space-wasting, "fancy" extra stuff that don't reside on the discs themselves. I'm fine w/ paying a small premium for on-disc extras of real substance -- though not the kind of fluff that often passes for extras.
I will continue to pass on these super-duper, gift box releases and wait for the (hopefully) eventual disc-only releases.
I'm not a fan of the Digibook format either, but even that would be fine w/ me (as long as it doesn't come w/ a big premium on price) -- I've even gone about preparing for such purchases by buying some BD blank cases now.
