Or the people who get a 2.39:1 movie and get upset that "If I have a widescreen TV, why are there still bars there? There shouldn't be any!" It greatly upsets me.
LOL...yeah, I hate explaining that one.

Anyone remember Super-Bit?

"Remember" is a good word to use, because they thought dropping extras, which requires more space, for a better encoded movie, which requires more bitrate, would sell better.

It worked for awhile, but then people wanted the extras anyways, and so Superbit started releasing two-disc sets: movie, and extras. After a while, Superbit stopped.

For all the talk of BR discs that exceed 30Gbs, I'd love to see a comparison of the space taken up by the actual film itself, to see if a movie from a 30+Gbs release actually uses a better encode/bitrate, or if the extra space is simply being taken up by extra features.
