One of the only ones that isn't an IMAX is T2 and I have watched it, and it is amazing. I need more. Why in the world don't more do this? If T2 can have this and cost under $15, it obviously isn't a cost issue.

WHY?

Step Into Liquid also has a WMVHD version on disc 2... and it can be had for $10.xx at DDD.

As to an answer to why more don't do it.... no clue. Like you mentioned, it's not a cost thing.

I'm guessing demand for this is fairly limited so most companies don't bother.

probably. But it is a nice thing to have. Perhaps they are waiting for more people to want it so they can re-release the movies again. Bastids

Step into Liquid really doesn't excite me. I want to watch movies like Indiana Jones, etc.

Obviously from the lack of responses, it isn't a big deal to most.

Sorry, it's just the only one that I know of

I think part of the problem is that you need a pretty high-end system to do it justice. Most people like to view movies on their HT systems. It's kinda like other extras on a disc... people will watch it once and not revisit it.

Like you noted, there's just not much of an interest. Of course, I'm sure a good percentage of the people who own T3 probably aren't aware it's even there.
