As a recent HD-DVD supporter, now I'm starting to get worried. Just looking at the Blu-Ray release schedule, it seems Blu_Ray is matching every single one of HD-DVD's, but also adding a ton of titles I really want (but can't get)
I really hope HD-DVD gets some support from Fox and Disney soon...

Which makes it all the easier to wait.
Oh and in case anyone is interested, Meet the Parents will have ALL the extras that were on both SD DVD editions released.
Go Universal!

That said, King Kong was disappointing in regards to extras (the pic and sound was awesome), but I think it just is more evidence that its going to be released as an extended edition. Sadly.
Im also disappointed in Superman The Movie not having all the extras. I think thats the first one from WB that doesnt have all the extras on hd-dvd.
But, lets dont get into a hd-dvd vs bluray extras right now, because hands down hd-dvd has included more extras (more in the case of MI3 than the bd release). Unfortunately, they have let a couple come out recently that didnt have them all.

You're wrong.
Kong and Superman are the exceptions at the moment just as Click and Talladega are. They are certainly not the rule.

To get us back on track, any word on the Da Vinci Code? I keep hearing the end of January, but have not seen anything official.

So Click, Talladega and Monster House have all the extras from the SD DVD.
That's 3 out of...how many??
Ice Age and Enemy do not.
I never said ZERO extras. I was more referring to how many discs include all the extras from their SD DVD counterparts.

So who is right? I'll let you know when I pick up that disc.
I know you were not refering to zero extras, but to say no titles have all of the extras ported is flat out wrong and is a statment, I believe, made to persuade potential buyers from purchasing BD.
What is not ported from Ice Age?

Please. I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from buying BD.
Fine. Maybe my statement about "none, zilch" was extreme but in comparison, it's accurate. Less than 5% off all current BD-only titles include all extras from their SD counterpart. And there's no sign of that changing for the better.
Like I said, they get quality up and include all extras and I'd end up contemplating BD. Until then, I see no reason to.

Looking on the hddvddigest review, it looks like it has alot, so it very well might have it all.

Saw III (Blu-Ray) 1-23-07
Along with three versions of the DVD. No rating listed on the chart for the Blu-Ray. Seamless branching ala AVP?

I'm really confused about the extras strategy on BD. Something like Dark Water (which didn't exactly have a huge pile of extras to begin with) shows up missing about 45 minutes of featurettes. Why exactly?

The Chronicles of Riddick was released before Pitch Black, and even though The Bourne Supremacy was an early release, they still haven't popped out The Bourne Identity.

Basically, they've stripped the Blu-ray of the "kiddie" bonus features and kept the ones that most adults will be interested in.
