Depends on what the features are. I might be interested in the "Making of" of certain films, or maybe interviews with cast members. I rarely ever watch anything besides the film though.
Some bonus features are awesome. I like the commentary while the movie plays too. But it has to be a movie I really like so it's rare I use those features.
Problem with special features is that they're often put on the second disc and I never seem to muster up the enthousiasm of putting in that DVD. I watch the movie, when it's done I go to bed. Next day I just put in another movie. Special features can trick me into buying a special edition, but I never actually watch them. Bad habit, I know :P
Depends on the movie. I want District 9 deleted scenes or commentary. The Other Boleyn Girl ... ehhhh, not so much.
That's just bizarre! Those were the last two films I hired out. One must accommodate the wife. I doubt that The Other Boleyn Girl made it to Blu-Ray. It wasn't very good. District 9 was effing brilliant though.
[QUOTE="KittenNipples"]Yes. Allot of the time I will choose BD over DVD not because of the quality, but because of all the bonus content.GrandJury
Do Blu-ray movies have more features than DVDs?Content wise some studios put allot of extra material that wouldn't have fit on a DVD. Such as commentaries, trailers, games, and digital copies. The menu for BD movies is also a heck of a lot better and faster than dvd menus. You can even bring the menu up and continue to watch the movie. Its helpful when you need to get to a certain scene or want to see if they have a making of on the part you are watching, then you can PIP and see how the movie was made while you watch it.
It all depends on the price, if I buy a film for 5 dollars I am going for just the film and hopefully it has a nice transfer, if I buy something for 40 dollars I expect to have documentaries, short films, interviews ect. Probably the most important is the transfer of the film though, because on top of all of it the film is most important.....

Bonus features? For the most part, no. I do, however, wait until the DVD is released on Blu-Ray before buying. There are very few exceptions when I just buy the DVD instead of waiting.
[QUOTE="tigertechie"] DVD's cost around $25...........KittenNipples
Uh, what? I've seen them range from $2.99-$19.99. I don't see any new releases that are $24.99 anymore.
New releases are almost always $24.99 where I am. Everything here cost a bit more though :(. Where are you located that they are $20?
Really? Well, I mostly shop for DVDs (like I said, there are a few exceptions where I actually just settle for DVDs)/Blu-Ray on Amazon. Very rarely will I shop at Best Buy (sometimes they have good deals). I never see new DVD releases that are $24.99, though.
I do enjoy the special features , though for the most part it's the movie I buy and that is the reason I buy a movie. Now if I had to choose between choosing which movie to buy and which to wait for , then special features are the main reasons why I choose something over the other.

You mean like pop menus? I finally discover those when I was watching the Ultimate Edition of Watchmen.
I will buy a collector's edition if its like $10-$15 more than the standard edition.

That's what I did with dvd's . I always bought the one with more content mostly because I was interested in it. Now with Blu-ray , it always seems to have the most content .

I guess that would be the name for them, lol. I recently found out that the pop up menu sometimes contains other camera angles for a scene.
I don't really care about extra features. You never know whether they will be cool or not. I get the bluray version of a movie because I know it will look a lot better.
