Got Ted from redbox... good movie (lil overrated)... gag reals, deleted scenes etc are only allowed if you buy the official blu ray?! I have never seen this before.
Do they really think I'm gonna go buy the $20 blu ray to see the gag reel? Is this their idea to generate more revenue? The movie made 500 million at the box office.
I should have just pirated the damn thing.
That $500,000,000.00 has to pay many people, and make up for all the stinkers that the studio launched in order to get a hit.
Amazed that there are actually people out there defending Hollywood and the film industry ...
I decided to be a good sport and paid to rent the newest Resident Evil film on DirecTV..
....I should have just pirated the damn thing.
Movie was trash...so bad, I'm starting to wonder how Capcom is even allowing these folks to still make these movies.
Welp, Silent Hill is next.

It's not just extras. The copy of "Ted" that I got from Blockbuster had a menu option for the "Unrated" version but if you tried to select that it basically said "HA HA SUCKER!!! You gots to buy me to get this!"
I do have to wonder how many people buy the full version because the rental doesn't have extras, vs. how many just get pissed at the studio's perceived slight and try to avoid giving them money again.
This is like a drug dealer giving out free samples of their cheap, awful stuff to try to entice people into buying the primo blend. It's a poor business strategy.
RE has gone downhill fast. I'm not even sure why they even still come out in theaters. The only reason why i even rent these on netflix is because i have nothing better to do.
Silent Hill... I have to say the first one was pretty good. I will not see the second until its out on netflix. In mater of fact, i dont go to the movies theaters anymore unless its a movie like the Avengers or Batman. Something i really cant wait to see. Other then that i wait for it to come on HBO or netflix.
Probably some licensing agreement they negotiated with the rights owner.
Amazed that people are complaining that they paid a buck and change to see a movie and didn't get the lame gag reel.
First world problems.
I would agree as I haven't paid to see a movie since 2007. I am no longer within the demographic I guess.
Went downhill fast? It was never on a hill. It started in a valley and somehow found a cliff to fall off of.
"Waaaah. $1.99 is too much to view a movie"
I am not defending RIAA or any of that crap. I am railing against the entitlement culture that some people here have. Then again, if $1.99 to rent a movie bothers you, you probably are not doing so hot, and it is just a reflection of that.
Waaaah, I used poor logic to try and criticize someone and people called me on it!
You are bitching that you paid $1.99 to see something that a studio took a gamble on and fronted $65,000,000 for, and you don't get to see the "gag reel"?
If anything, you should be happy that you can see the movie legally for a fraction of the price of someone who "needs" the BR version pays for it.

Alot of movies I get through Netflix (disc) are the same way; no extras, with a big "This disc is intended for rental purposes' stamp at the beginning.
What is worse, is that many of them have un-skippable previews. Where the retail disc allows you to select 'Root menu' whenever you want, many of these Netflix discs disable that, making you watch the Blu Ray commercials and previews.
