Blu-ray and HD-DVD lack of special features

[serpico77]

I have been buying a numerous blu-ray and hd-dvds in the past few months,
I am just shocked by the amount I have brought which dont offer any kind of special features. It seems weird as when you put a hd-dvd into your player it advertises 6x better picture resolution, more extras than standard dvd but them they dont have any on the hd it'self.

why release a film without any features?

Maybe so they can release them again later as a special edition.

And that's a new practice? This has been going on for years with DVD.

I'm interested to know, which Blu rays and HD DVD's don't have all the extra's you were expecting?

I've only just started on the blu-ray but as with dvd, the companies want you to shell out as often as they can get away with it. The majority of the time I only go for loaded discs but sometimes you don't have the patience to wait.
Also in the early days of dvd the quality left a lot to be desired. the same can no doubt be said about a number of blu-ray releases.
its like deja vu all over again.

gotta say that the main reason i abandoned blu-ray for the time being at least, it's a market in it's infancy and until it represents value for money for me at least, i will wait it out for cheap players and better quality releases..
