No Bonus Features For You!Alright, I understand the extra downloadable content thing for video games. It helps keep interest in the game and allows for things like patches, new weapons/characters, updates and all that, but this? Are you freaking kidding me? Why in the hell would I pay EXTRA for the commentary? That's more or less a standard feature on films these days, not to mention that one of the original appeals of BD was that it had specials features not available on the DVD version. Granted, for most films I hardly ever watch the bonus stuff, but I do like that it's THERE, knowing I can watch it any time I want to (which I have actually been doing more of lately). If this is a new practice, then you can expect me to buy less films. If you're giving me less content, then I feel like you should get less money. F--- off with this nonsense.

Yeah, that's crap. As much as Blu-rays cost, the extra content should be standard and all inclusive IMO. Just another way to get more money out of people.
Hopefully enough people will call BS on this that they have to go back to the way it should be done.

I know a lot of people in the comments section said they cancelled their pre-orders after reading that. Who would blame them? Why should I pay for an incomplete package?

Good, I hope it's a wake up call. Microsoft got it, hopefully they will too.

There really is no excuse for this. Just a company showing that it cares more about money than quality. The hell with that, gimme a nice Scream Factory DVD chock full of bonus stuff any day.

How can you charge for extras on a dvd/bd? That's the whole f*cking point to them! Seriously. I was gonna look into this, now I'll give it the old used/salvation army wait. If even that.

I hope this thing sells so few copies that they'll either have to release a complete version, or give away the paid content for free as an apology. It's bad enough paying outrageous prices at a theater, but to have to pay for things that are expected on the DVD/BD release? Give me a break.

I still find this idea just ridiculous. First you have a MSRP of $35 (and some places will sell it for that), and then you have the gall to ask for MORE money for something you already spent $35 on? How is that reasonable? What are we gonna get with this, access to the sequel before it hits theaters? That's the only way I can even think this is a good idea, and even then that's not a good idea.
