Fox is trying a new strategy to encourage DVD purchases, by releasing two different versions of the DVD—the standard retail version with deleted scenes and commentary tracks, and a stripped-down rental version including just the movie.
Fox to strip extras from rental DVDs | Crave - CNET
Great idea, I have no issue with purchased dvd’s having more extras than rentals. If i’m going to pay ~3 times the price for my own copy, it’d be nice to have some exclusive content. Given the recent surge in rental rates, - online et al. - i’d say this makes sense. I wouldn’t be surprised if other studios soon follow suit.
