rogueslayer452Okay, this has been bugging me for a while, what exactly is the difference between Blu Ray and DVD? Better, higher quality in picture I get that, but otherwise what exactly is the benefit of having something more expensive than your average DVD, which in turn is still majorly costly itself?
Because today I grabbed the Sucker Punch DVD only to realize that it's the theatrical cut, the extended director's cut version with all the bonus features are on the Blu Ray release, the DVD only has like, two special features, and that's it. Which honestly? I think that's rather stupid. Most people don't have Blu Ray, some don't even want Blu Ray, and I would rather have an extended version of the movie without it being a privilege for only Blu Ray users. I don't know whether they are even releasing the extended cut on a regular DVD which is really pissing me off. I don't know, I find this rather too complicated and too much of a hassle, and kind of a rip-off, imo.

Maybe it will make you feel better about the whole process to know that it is a fucking process that lots of thought goes into?
IDK. What I don't get is the 2 disc sets with regular dvd and bluray. I mean it works in the sense that I got all the regular dvds from ours when I moved, which, YAY but still, I'm like... what's the POINT?!
