    Look, not that I'm not all in favor of more internet-based media, but isn't this kind of the opposite of the point of YouTube? I mean YouTube was supposed to be a platform for the everyman broadcast. A place where you could garner a public audience no matter how awful your video/vlog is.

    I suppose the combination of a solid video streaming platform and a solid brand is appealing to some folks. It just doesn't fit, IMHO.

    Didn't you post this, uh... yesterday? Seriously Giz. If there is nothing going on in the tech world (not possible by the way) just don't post anything. I really don't want to read the same story multiple times. It's just lame.


    Also, do you not have a copy editor? I've noticed some typos lately. GET ON TOP OF YOUR GAME, GIZ.

    @sickforska: Didn't you comment, uh.... yesterday? Seriously sickforska. If there is nothing worthwhile to be said (not possible by the way) just don't comment. I really don't want to read this comment multiple times. It's just lame.

    Also, I've noticed that you aren't obligated to read or comment on every post. GET ON TOP OF YOUR GAME, SICKFORSKA.

    And feel free to leave if you don't like it.

    I can see the point of removing the digital copy on BD's, because leaving them on the disc is just making it too easy to keep a copy, but removing the extras?


    I don't even watch the extras on any movies but even I think that stinks..

    @CrispyAardvark: I love in-depth featurettes about special effects, script-to-screen, and such. It's one of the main reasons I bought the special editions of the LoTR's trilogy. Granted, not all are that good, but nevertheless, I enjoy them.


    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.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Yeah I'm totally in for some kind of meetup. One that doesn't involve crappy weather on coney island at a non-tech event.
