To clarify, I don’t really care about the deleted scenes that much, never have for any movie other than from a curiosity standpoint. It’s not like I’m going to go back six months later and watch four deleted scenes again.

That’s it for me also. It’s a rare day indeed when I watch any special features, particularly behind-the-scenes stuff. It takes away the magic for me. I never listen to commentary tracks either, for the same reason. I sometimes watch deleted scenes but they’re far from a priority. I certainly wouldn’t make a purchase based on them.

Truth be told, Rogue One will most likely be the first film where I purchase digital-only. I’ve all but cut cable completely and in doing so, I put an Apple TV on all three TVs in the house. With the exception of local stations for news & weather (soon to be via digital antenna), I watch all entertainment via Apple TV apps (Netflix, HBO, etc) or my ripped DVDs.

After ripping them, they sit in a hall closet unused. I have a DVD\Blu-ray set-up but I seldom use it for anything other than my box set of the Batman TV show. This past Christmas I even made the digital jump on Charlie Brown, Rudolph, and Frosty. The dust on those DVDs is now fourteen months old.

I used to worry about not having a permanent copy of all the films that are really important to me. I made peace with that several years ago when I realized that modern technology has made it so that I’m never without them. In fact, I just bought a new iPad last week and an hour after I set it up and restored from the cloud, it was an exact duplicate content-wise as the one previous.
