[quote name='Demolition Man']Wow calm down. All I said was that from my observations I noticed that some people care more about the free gimmicky items than the DVD itself. This comes from my observations on various forums and in the real world. Its just an observation. Nothing more, nothing less.
Honestly anyways... I'll take a lower price over a better freebie. But that's just me.

Don't presume my emotional level. Furthermore, if you'd have actually made your supporting point at the beginning (e.g. "I'll take a lower price over a better freebie", which indicates you believe the problem is people paying a possible premium for a "gimmick", rather than securing the cheapest price for the film proper--not that the "gimmick" is more important than the actual film, as you were asserting), instead of at the end of a lengthy series of meaningless sentences, I might have not gotten so fired up over what I read as a rather insulting and baseless accusation. In any case, don't get defensive when you're the one who started the finger-pointing.
[quote name='PenguinMaster']A lot of people are constantly interested in the 2-Disc Special Editions and will pay a premium for them as well. This definitely shows that people are more interested in bonus crap than the movie itself.[/quote]
WTF??? Are we confusing the terms "movie" and "DVD" here? No, people who want 2-disc versions don't value the extra material over the film proper, they enjoy it as an
enhancement of the film proper. They
do value it more than a 1-disc DVD release, if that's an alternative option, but
not more than the actual movie itself.
