Please, oh please get rid of those up-front previews. We pay too much to be forced to watch stale previews each and everytime we put the disc in. I can understand one or two, but these days we are being shoved with seven or eight of them.
At the very least, make previews part of BD live and have up-to-date previews available when the disc is played. I'd be more willing to watch a preview or two if it's a different trailer every time I play the disc.
So far that I've seen, almost all of the front-loaded stuff is skippable, the BDs that have them generally allow you to chapter skip and go directly to the menu.
The exception that I've seen is Funimation's Vexille, which they have a tendency to lock down all buttons except an obscure one that almost no one actually uses, this is their habit with their DVDs. I avoid Funimation products for that reason, I just don't like that attitude.
