While I agree people like the extras, I doubt that all would be too happy about the way they're done (convoluted menus, hidden items, mystery navigation, etc.). I don't think much of marketing surveys, they're either skewed to present the desired results, or just stupidly done. I'm quite confident that if people were asked if they'd like the first press of the play button to just play the movie, and the menu button could let them do everything else, that'd be popular. Most especially if you asked them, too, if it was annoying having to work through a disc like most force you to, currently. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
