I'd happily save $4-8 if they strip out all the extra crap that I don't watch anyways. I can't remember the last time I watched any of the bonus footage. The stripped (and cheaper) version is not the one that they sell you but the "Library Version" that they want to force Libraries to have to buy. Thus if you buy in lieu of getting a loaner copy from your library it will not affect your cost. This stripped movie-only type DVD has already been done with some rental DVDs. There are a number of cases where I have rented a DVD which has no extras when I know the sales copy has extras on it. As to the issue of them wanting to go to streaming and no longer have DVDs, this cuts their production cost since with streaming you only get the movie and thus there is no need to create the extras.

I hardly ever watch it, and on those few titles that I do watch, it is on a Limited Edition copy that I paid extra for anyway. And WB is currently playing games with the "digital copy" that is included on some titles. Typically, you get a hard copy that you can then import into iTunes or whatever to watch on your device of choice. WB wants you to create two user accounts (two different services - one verifies your digital license, the other a cloud storage service) and then STREAM it to your PC. -- Google is your Friend
