Thread: Is Netflix sending stripped down discs?

To be honest, in the case of movies that usually come in 2-disc sets, I am not sure if the studios arent simply offering a 1-disc version to big rental companies like Netflix and Blockbuster, at least for the rental copies. But, in trying to look...

Then that is strange. Warner has made no mention of supporting rental exclusive releases like Fox and Lionsgate.

Yes, this was reported a while back. The studios were planning on selling movies to rental companies like Netflix with no extra features whatsoever. __________________ Blu-ray "eco" cases are a waste. 399 Blu-ray movies: BT's Blu-ray Collection

Is Netflix sending stripped down discs? Is Netflix sending stripped down discs? A bunch of my recent rentals have had no special features--and when I look up the reviews there are plenty listed. I don't see any second disc available for the special features. Some of the recent titles I remember: Transformers 2, I Love You Beth Cooper, My Life in Ruins.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs from Netflix had a label of RENTAL on the VOLUME ID.

You can't stop people from @ss-uming, humans have been doing this since they came around. People will continue making @ss-umtion of themselves for the rest of times too On topic, I never rent so I have never seen this but I am not surprised...

BBV has alot of movies with no special features either there called rental exclusives

Quote: The other two are Fox titles, so if Fox is really making stripped down versions, you might be out of luck there. You can always contact Netflix and complain about it... Not sure it will do anything. Fox is making stripped down versions for DVD, and may have started for certain movies on Blu as well that they feel will have good PV resale numbers
