How about adding Speed to the list? There is a lot of material on the 2 disc edition that was not added to the Blu-ray version.

For some titles, it might be worth mentioning that they have the extras from the first disc ported over but not the second disc. For instance, Speed and Cast Away each have the commentary from disc 1 of each title's respective SE DVD set, but lack the 2nd disc extras. So, one could create a custom special edition with all of the extras (and more, if you count the "game" in Speed) by combining the BD with the 2nd DVD. I plan to do that as soon as I get a source for 2-disc cases.

Plus...most of the discs this would apply to are Fox discs

I find DVD-ROM features to be negligible and with bonus discs, obviously you don't even necessarily get that stuff buying the standard DVD, so those things I'm skipping over, but thanks for the update!

You may want to ask posters #2 and 3 to delete their posts so that you have post #2 so continue the list into someday.

am I reading this thread correctly - all the stuff listed above is MISSING from the BD version? If so, then studios can't be serious about people buying BD over SD.. That's nuts to lose all those supplements on a media that has significantly more space to store them!
Or am I misreading this thread?

HOWEVER, it does help to really read the entries for the movies. I guess it's just as important in my mind to show that what you're losing is negligible as it is to show that you're losing all the extras. Also, the entries will reflect what's missing from all DVD releases, and sometimes it can't be expected that the BR will contain all those features (for example, between the Universal and Lionsgate versions of American Psycho).

I don't upgrade if it's barely a once a year movie.
I don't upgrade if I already have a nice multi disc SE
I don't upgrade if the extended/unrated/directors cut is not available in hi-def
I'll upgrade any of my DVD-r's or first generation non-anamorphic discs.
I'll upgrade any movie that are true favorites and get watched repeatedly in a year
