Trailers and ads on DVDs and Blu Rays
Discussion
Anyone else find this a little annoying?
You legitimately buy a DVD or Blu Ray and take it home and attempt to watch it. Before you get anywhere near the menu that allows you to watch the film you have purchased, you are bombarded with trailers for other films, and sometimes even adverts! Best of all, if you are watching the film on a standard DVD or Blu Ray player, you can't avoid the ads or trailers, you have to skip past every single one.
Now, I'm all for things being legal and everything, but why the hell do I need to be lectured on buying pirated things when I've bought a pissing legit copy? Also, why am I paying for something which contains trailers for other things, and ads? Maybe if it was on a free stream service or something you would expect the od ad, but not on something which you have already paid for.
It's a bit like going to the cinema. You buy a ticket and are then bombarded with half an hour of ads and trailers before the thing you've paid for appears. It's especially annoying when you factor in the cost of a cinema ticket at the moment. You've paid to see the film, why should you pay for adverts that are being paid for by the company advertising anyway?
I think the new TT 3D Blu Ray is one of the worst cuplrits. There are 4 trailers before you get to the film menu!
I know some people will be along shortly saying if you have this software it'll cut the unwanted content out etc. I just want to sit back and watch a film in comfort on my tv though, not through my PC monitor.
It's even more bloomin annoying when you regard how the big film and entertainment companies act nowadays, what with overpricing their goods and having a very out-dated attitude to product delivery methods.
Mild rant over.

Having a 2YO we are watching a lot of Disney, and they can just go and foff with all the Ads.
Also Blu-rays, I don't want to and have no interest in connecting to the internet and why does it sometimes take 10-30s to even start playing the Ad and finally what are you storing you are a film not a game where I can understand an install!

i can live with the trailers, i skip the ads, i just get the hump when it won't let me skip past the copyright crap. i bought a legit copy why so i need to read the crap over not pirating it.
i think the producers really should be told or machines be changed so you can skip it.
pisses me right off.
p.s. this is my current soapbox having sat through so many lately a i am stuck at home off sick.

Amen brothers.
And the worst thing is that with Disney you can't even start screaming "Come on you F******* thing just play the Bas**** film will you" at the TV as you'll typically have your 3 year old (or older) sat next to you, who'll instantly learn those new words - despite never picking up on "please", "thank-you" and "no" - in an instant and then repeat them to his mum all day.

Good I thought it was just me. I f
king hate that FACT add. "You wouldn't steal a car....etc." No I fking wouldn't and neither have I bought a pirate copy of this you s.
Every time I see that advert I think "yeah I'd download a car if the person who bought it is still free to enjoy it" but they'll never understand why people will download a film instead of paying £13 and having to sit through a moral lecture every time you want to watch it!king hate that FACT add. "You wouldn't steal a car....etc." No I fking wouldn't and neither have I bought a pirate copy of this you s.DRIVES ME CRAZY...
That bloody malteers ad when the bints arrange their men folk in to a 'homo' pose (they no doubt fell alseep waiting for the film to start). You can't skip it, you can't fast forward it... grrr.
Could you imagine buying a new Car and having to watch an ad for arsewipe everytime you started it on the satnav before the engine started, you'd never stand for that.
AND when they show the best 30 seconds of the film on a continous loop on menu page...

king annoying. I'll happily pay for a Blu Ray of a film I like, but these unskippable trailers are a very good reason for pirating them.Debaser said:

I hate this too, especially with TV series, as the menu is loading up you get a brief synopsis of the whole series.Watch that intro and you don't need to watch the show!
I also agree with hating all the adverts and FACT statements. As we've all said, "I've bought the product legitimately, why are you punishing me with threats of if I pirate it?"
