I do all the time, I wish they were all HD but that will come in time.

Here's a similar poll that may add to the discussion

I watch all of them.

I wish every HD DVD/Studio use IME & U-Control more and wish Director's provide their Commentary.

I wouldn't mind more HD extras as long as they didn't mean the feature got overly compressed. I expect VC-1 and AVC encoders will just keep getting more effecient. Of course, the person using the encoder probably has something to do with it, too. ;)

I would prefer if most movies came with two discs like MI:III and Flags of our Fathers. Disc 1 with the main feature, disc 2 with all the 1080p extras.

I mostly watch deleted scenes or listen to commentary.

I'm a movie-watcher myself. The extras kind of ruin the experience for me somewhat...

Nope.
Trailers are about the only thing I watch on a disc besides the movie itself.

I used to, but I have so many unwatched movies, that instead of wathcing special features, I prefer to see a new movie instead.

Loks pretty clear.....~70% prefer little to no watching of extras.. Though I would bet a scientific poll would make that % far higher.

I watch the special features very often but not always so I chose "I only occasionally watch special features"

Rarely. Most of what I watch is a rental and once the movie's done (usually near bedtime), it's back in the envelope and off the Netflix so I can get the next movie.

wow! 75% watch special features in one form or another.

if studios can find the formula to make this as attractive and interesting as possible it could help sell a lot of disks.

IMO primitive games = no sale.

I'm surprised only 24 people out of 162 watch IME

I think its really a matter of putting somthing fun on the disc. I really don't care about the making off stuff. But I find the goofy home movies some make to be funny. The train wreak shorts on clerks II are great.

Or in the case of robin hood the old cartoons brought up to HD are amazing as well. I really enjoyed those.

Some commentarys are fun.those that have nothing about the film in them just a bunch of ther cast telling stories is always fun
