Following in Fox's footsteps, Disney has announced that it will become the second studio to release two different "classes" of DVDs and Blu-ray Discs, a "premium" version, and a bare-bones rental version.
Starting in June with the movies Morning Light, Confessions of a Shopaholic and Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience, the studio will offer the premium version with extras and other ... [ read the full article ]

LoL Disney thinks people buy movies for the extras. Oh thats funny. You could take off the extras and I would still buy em.. but you better charge me less, otherwise i'll just copy them.

Haha, of course not, its an attempt by the copyright mafia to devalue the ex-rental DVD market. Lots of rental chains will sell on ex-rental DVDs after they drop in popularity. Why would you pay 39.99 when you can get the ex-rental version a couple of months later for 9.99. Further proof the the big media companies just want to control the market.
Thr fact that Disney is doing this so so after Fox also shows them working as a cartel to monopolize the market.
Um who in their right mind would pay $40 for a movie? or $30, or $20... get real... the reason people are copying is because its too expensive... while the fat cats get rich, we all get poor. This whole system is falling as we read/speak/type, etc. Without our hard earned cash, the fat cats are NOTHING.
$30 for "just" the movie!?! GMaFB!!! I'll barely pay the bloated $25-6 for the extended WTF as it is. I personally like the extras, but not enough to keep this crap up. There are so few Disney titles I am interested in that their current business model doesn't affect me. I am however bothered by other conglomerates that think this is a good idea and seem to want to follow suit. It seems to me that the greedy assholes from the last few years haven't been executed yet. Aren't we as a society supposed to be moving away from the "let's screw the consumer" mentality? I mean, I lived through this exact same thing back in the 80's; "you bought it, now it's your problem" or "buy stupid low and sell for belligerent high". Since when did moving a piece of paper from the left hand side of your desk to the right hand side merit a $16 million bonus? I know greed is king, but how many times do you need to be able to "buy God" before enough is enough?

Disney dose the nintendo thing only with more price gouging.
