Blu-rays with more features than SD list?
 

I just joined the Blu-ray bandwagon so I'm not sure if this has been posted in this forum before because obviously I never checked it out before. Is there a list or a site that tells you what Blu-rays have additional features/alternate cuts compared to the normal SD version. Sorry if this has been posted before, I'm just curious about it. Thanks

You mean the better audio and video quality alone is not enough for you? :p

Re: Blu-rays with more features than SD list?
 

i thought we had a thread here about it. although i would imagine it would be difficult to search for.

Re: Blu-rays with more features than SD list?
 

I tried doing a quick search via Google but couldn't find it.

You could go to highdefdigest.com and search reviews by Blu-ray exclusives to get an idea of what's out there...

Re: Blu-rays with more features than SD list?
 

2 out of 3 New Releases have Blu-ray exclusive content.

Re: Blu-rays with more features than SD list?
 

Yeah I know that but I was hoping for some list to see what's different on certain stuff.
Oh well, I guess it doesn't exist yet....

Re: Blu-rays with more features than SD list?
 

I'm not sure it is that high.

I'd guess that the number of titles that don't carry over everything from the SD releases is higher than the number of titles with exclusive content.

Re: Blu-rays with more features than SD list?
 

Here are a few features that are exclusive - or were touted as being exclusive - to Blu-ray releases. This doesn't count non-movie bonus discs or digital copy pogeybait.

Thanks....

Re: Blu-rays with more features than SD list?
 

Friday the 13th (2009) has some exclusives as well.

Re: Blu-rays with more features than SD list?
 

As nearly everyone on this forum are mad lovers of digital copies, I just read this on blu-ray.com on the upcoming release of the remake of Friday the 13th....

Warner: Free Digital Copies for Blu-ray; Pay-to-Play with DVD


Warner Home Video has revealed that, starting with the upcoming release of the 2009 remake of 'Friday the 13th', they will begin charging DVD customers $1.99 to gain access to a digital copy of the film, while providing them free as part of the Blu-ray release. While this has no impact on Warner's current Blu-ray standards, it does narrow the price difference between the two formats.

The change in policy is not only meant to make the Blu-ray format more attractive to potential customers, but also to react to trends they are seeing with the use of digital copies. Blu-ray owners tend to use the provided digital copies at a much higher rate than DVD owners.

As previously reported, the Blu-ray release of 'Friday the 13th' features two exclusive extras, and now a free digital copy of the film, giving fans even more reason to purchase the Blu-ray.

Re: Blu-rays with more features than SD list?
 

Talk about really giving SD buyers the shaft. It won't be long before they dispense with bonus features altogether on SD releases to make the BD seem an even more worthwhile purchase.

Re: Blu-rays with more features than SD list?
 

Oh yeah, this has already been done with a couple titles (Nights In Rodanthe comes to mind)....ask Gizmo about it, he said in another thread (in the DVD forum I believe) that from the info he has heard from his industry contacts, this IS the upcoming plan....while studios previously released plain 1 disc releases and loaded 2 disc special editions, eventually DVD will only get the lesser single disc release and the Blu-ray will take the place as the "Special Edition" release....
