We all know the Blu Ray discs can carry a large amount of memory due to its dual layered disc, holding more bonus content about the movie for the viewers that are more interested about the film but a lot of people just watch the movie and leave out the special features.
I already understand why people would get it because of its high quality picture, but shouldn't the other people make their moneys worth by watching its other special content?
Should the most average movie viewer watch their movies on DVD's rather than on Blu Ray? Because most people never watch the special content.
Some of us with the same topic would like to here from other people on what they think.

IMHO Blu-ray is just better quality that you're not going to notice and a sh*t-load of bonus features you'll never watch. I mean seriously, why is Casablance on Blu-ray?

As far as extras go, I rarely watch the extras on regular DVDs so having more of them included doesn't matter to me either. I find that a lot of times the extras change my overall experience of a film, especially alternate scenes/endings, and rarely for the better. Plus, I don't need a bunch of cast & crew members dissecting the entire movie & showing me how they did what they did. It takes all of the fun out of my experience.

Not really worth buying I guess.

Obviously they wouldn't sell. I will say this for Blu-ray though, the content they do contain is incomparable to DVD and after seeing a few Blu-rays of new movies it is a significant step above DVD.
