Remember Web Extras don't necessarily mean things like trailers. For instance, on Shrek 3 a Trivia Track was added via a downloadable web-extra. Both Shrek 3 and Transformers still have numerous "offline" features that are not finished yet but will be downloadable via the web in the future.

Just an FYI in case all you thought you'd just be losing something like trailers or forums, you will lose regular extras too that don't make it by time of replication and are added via the web.

Also, it is doubtful these devices will go down in price anytime soon - they have been $99 for years and years and have stuck at that price point for some reason. Your best bet for cheaper than that is a clearance on an old model (as I linked above) or eBay.
