It's a pity really that it isn't something you can show loyalty to those who do it well really since it's down to individual films you buy not a company thing. More

I mean generally though. Most DL or torrent sites are just the films not extras. I doubt this helps, but I'm not sure you'd see many people like yourself who DL just DL extras and nothing else.?
sp;
On the general point, you're entirely correct. I'm not convinced that the vast majority of film-buyers are that interested in special features, and so are likely to pick up whatever version of a film happens to be on sale in Asda, Tesco etc when they're doing their sh More

I'm not sure piracy is driven by extra features - is it?
sp;
Put it this way, I don't like admitting this, but I did download all the BluRay Avengers special features via a torrenting site. In my defence, I fully intend to buy the film when it comes out, but since I can't afford to upgrade to Bluray, I'll be buying on DVD. Therefore, my only means of seeing the vast majority of these special features is to download them. More

Anyway, it sucks but it won't change. 'no plans' for a further release will change as soon as they get the upfront cash for this release. Then the all-spangles release will be issued forcing those who care about this stuff to double-dip. Capitalist scum is capitalist scum. More

You guys do know you can just order it from the US, right?
Sure its a slight extra shipping charge but still...
sp;
Point is surely that nobody should ever have to, or feel obliged to, order from a territory other than where they live. Therefore, the likes of Disney should get their act together and actually give everyone the same special features, whether or DVD or BD, rather than faffing about with retailer exclusives, steelbooks etc. If nothing else, there'd be More

Empire have tweeted that Disney said the commentary was recorded too late for the UK release. Which sounds slightly bollocks timewise tbh.
Maybe people that interested in commentaries are also the type to have multi-region Blu Ray players?

I just wonder why nobody's really making a big fuss out of this? I mean, if we - the fans who spend our money on these products - complain, we just come off as entitled little kids and get ignored. Why haven't any of the big publications, like Empire or Total Film actually called Disney out for selling what are essentially inferior products over here?
Gah, sorry, I'm going into rant territory now. It just pisses me off that crap like this only seems to happen to us, and we're never actuall More

UTB, this is the link on BBFC to the 90min doc:
www.bbfc.co.uk/AVV291961/
For what it's worth, I've seen it and it's entertaining enough, but not particularly in-depth for any of the films. Each of the Marvel films gets roughly 10-15min each, so it's a collection of featurettes rather than a unified whole. (It's easily found online in 'the usual sorts of places'.) Avengers is crying out for a feature-length 'making of' but it doesn't get one here. Expect a double-dip at some point in More

Is anybody else here a little pissed off that the UK DVD and blu-ray release isn't getting Joss Whedon's director's commentary? Seriously, I'm surprised nobody at Empire has brought this up, given the army of Whedonites that it employs (Helen, our champion, are you there?)...
The UK releases for Avengers are a total mess. There's a thread over in DVD discussion if you want to know more. However, if you w More
