Universal applied extra DNR to the Blu-ray edition of The Thing, which wasn't a problem on the HD DVD.

They also dropped extras and/or made them only accessible with U-Control.

Dropping the extras or condensing them into the U-Control, and the added DNR all seem to have been done with those releases in an effort to shrink file sizes and cram everything onto BD25s, though. If "Serenity" truly is getting a BD50, that should be plenty of room to spread stuff out.
