Discuss The Avengers DVD/Blu-Ray.
Since the DVD/Blu-Ray of "The Avengers" is already out in many countries, we can discuss the special features, the image/sound quality and stuff.

I bought the blu-ray today and I am really furious. I knew I wouldn't get the Joss commentary (which I am fine with, because I find it hard to sit through a movie and listen to a commentary- Commentary The Musical being the only exception) but I didn't realise we were missing out on other extras: Assembling the Ultimate Team and Marvel second screen app (I don't know what this is)
So, the one we have "A Visual Journey" is crap. It lasts less than 7 minutes and that's it. Where is a feature length making of documentary? This movie grossed $1.5 billion and this is the home video release its' getting. If I had known they were this bad, I would've wait the eventual "double-dip ultimate fan edition".
What do you guys think about the special features? I really like the alternate opening and ending. Wish it was in the movie. Gives so much substance to Maria Hill. And the gag reel is the best I've ever seen.
To those who'll get the commentary, please discuss the interesting things Joss says. And please tell us Schwarma scene-less neglected Europeans what is on the featurette and how long it is.

Lol. Sorry guys. Doesn't make any sense to me why Disney couldn't have just waited a few weeks to get the commentary on the european release.

And any actual color artwork on the discs themselves, or is it the usual Paramount and Disney gray-DVD and blue-Blu-ray.

Which version was that? The UK version?
I found a way to unlock the region setting on my laptop, so I'm probably getting the US version. I don't want to miss out. But damn Sainsbury for keeping the documentary hostage.

I don't like double dipping, so I guess I'll be getting the movie by 'other means' tonight until they (Marvel/Disney) sort their shit out for a local re-release.
Why don't you want my money, Disney? Grrrr.

Let's hope that's true.

But then I saw you could get this like steelbox blu-ray thing and well, it doesn't have a lot of extras but at least it had that 90 minute building a cinematic universe thing too on an extra disc.
I quite liked all the extras we did in fact get. Which was like basically the same as U.K gets. I still wish we got the the other stuff too. I'm hoping the American version is region free so I can just get that one for the rest of the extras. XD
The menu is pretty cool, I think and I think the chapters are quite a few.
I guess there was maybe supposed to be maybe a booklet but ahem, I bought the blu-ray with 10% percent off because it had been returned & opened because the person hadn't realized they'd bought a blu-ray. lol. So I don't know about that. XD

Most of Disney's releases have been region-free, but I can see how they'd want to make more money off this release and change their policy, or that Marvel's policies might be different (or, in fact, Paramount may have had some clauses in their distribution release that we can't know). Still, odds are in favor that you can buy the American version and watch it on your player.

@PuppetDoug - Disney is the company that releases region locked blu-ray's the most, in my experience. Most of my Pixar blu-ray's are locked for example. So it'd be safe to wait until release, not to get hurt.
@Druzilla - What is that 90 minute "building a universe" documentary. Is Joss in it much? And where can I pirate it, at this point? :)

I'm holding out for the Region A Blu Ray.

Maybe it was a good thing to pay extra for my blu ray playing laptop after all.

EDIT
@under rug swept:
It's basically a behind-the-scenes recap off all the Marvel movies, leading up to and including Avengers. Not exactly big on the Avengers/Joss extras, but it's a nice documentary that wraps up Phase One.

I've also been looking into buying a region free physical Blu-Ray player - anyone have any tips? (And is it even legal, to buy region free players - it was for DVD, I think, but is it also for Blu-Ray?) That'd be a good alternative for me, if the US version isn't region free. I was looking to buy a BR-player for the Cabin and Avengers releases anyway (and then also replace my old Firefly and Serenity DVDs :)).
