AfterDawn is reporting that Disney has announced plans to follow in Fox’s footsteps and release two different classes of DVDs and Blu-Ray Discs, one of which is barebones, and meant for rental consumption only. The first titles, Morning Light, Confessions of a Shopaholic and Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience, will hit rental store shelves (or should I say Netflix warehouses?) in June.
Unfortunately, most people that rent at Blockbuster probably don’t care about audio commentaries or behind the scenes documentaries. And the few that do probably won’t convince the company to invest in the retail copies. It will be interesting to see if Netflix gives in and goes for the cheaper option, and a much bigger percentage of their customers care about special features and bonus discs.
