I think most of us would gladly opt for cheaper BD discs without extra content. If you want to add stuff, try alternative versions or better sound. But the whole idea is the movies, not marketing wank.
Agree completely. I for one will more than likely never use any BD Live features. All I want is the film and sound in the best possible HD quality. Alternative versions is fine unless they have just thrown in some previously cut out material that just bloats the film for no good reason.
Studios, please listen and stop hapring this BD Live crap!
Agreed! The BD-Live content on Wall-E is the perfect example. They REQUIRE you to create an account online (on a PC!) and log into their system before accessing any of it. The process took me 20 minutes and wasn't anywhere near worth the effort. To add insult to injury, they said my username was against their rules... the same username I use on every other service in the world. What a pain in the a$$.

Yep, all the extras are worthless. I used to listen to commentaries and such but now...i simply want to watch the movie. BD-Live = BD-worthless.
