Hello!?! I'm watching a BRD, obviously I believe the hype? Don't put this crap on my software that I'll have to watch for eternity!!!
They're wasting money advertising to the wrong folks. (Yes, I know, it cost them nothing to put that on the disc...)

Not to derail further, but:
A-fucking-men. (That looks a LOT worse in print than it sounds, but you get my drift).
The only thing worse than those ads are the ones playing before DLP-projected films in my area (mostly at Carmike theatres) which proclaim the incredible quality of digital projection, in digital projection, for people already watching a digital projection. Not only are the ads clearly recorded in something marginally above standard-def (seriously, it looks like camcorder footage), but the disconnect between that footage and the testimonials of the "excited moviegoers" over the incredible quality of the images consistently has the majority of the audience snickering (and this is a north-Twin-Cities-suburb audience, mind you: not as "Fargo" as one might think, but a lot more "Fargo" than we care to think of ourselves). The best testimonial: That the difference between film and digital projection is, respectively, "like the difference between CDs and MP3s!" WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?
Ennyhoo, back to regularly scheduled programming. For the record, I'm stymied about why the marketing push hasn't increased too.
