I watch most movies via Netflix rental, so I am hoping that Netflix, who has usually been good about providing an enjoyable customer experience, will provide the retail versions. But if not, then it's not of any major significance.

Playing devil's advocate, I can understand Fox's decision. In a tough economy, they need to provide incentive for people to buy the disc. In that context, making the extra content a value-added bonus for purchase makes sense. It certainly wont hurt the rental-viewer in any serious way, as they will still be getting the full movie that they paid to rent.
