Carol responds:
Why be annoyed? Of course, they're out to make money. That's what big
corporations do. And I'd love to see the films with the deleted scenes
included, not just the ones in the extras but the ones we never saw at all.
(Snape's task in SS/PS? Was that ever filmed?) I don't have the extended
edition of LOTR, but I've seen it and I enjoyed it--and I understand
perfectly why those scenes weren't included in the already long theatrical
version.

LOTR was different, they announced before the Theatrical DVD that the
extended version was coming, so you knew in three months the Extended
version would be out, and it was only 90 days, it's been 6 years since the
first HP film. With LOTR you could rent the theatrical if you wanted to see
it again right-away because only 90 days later the extended cut was on it's
way. 

I also don't agree with the unabashed support of corporate greed, constantly
holding back on customers with releases so that you can keep adding and
re-releasing  to milk repeat sales is just wrong. The technology to include
both a theatrical and extended cut on one DVD has existed since before the
first film, both X-Men and T2 used it to great effect. 

The issue is that they know they are dangling meat before a hungry dog, they
keep offering larger pieces to get new tricks.

WB is releasing on the extended cut of Watchmen next month, that's a good
call.
