\"what-did-benedict-cumberbatch-do-to-make-spock-scream-like-this\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fans of Star Trek have always been pretty vocal on their love for the franchise. Over the years the nickname of “Trekie” (while they will tell you that the name is derogatory and they prefer “Trekker”) has been used to describe them for their love.<\/p>\n

Paramount may have just betrayed their love with the DVD\/Blu-Ray release of Star Trek Into Darkness.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the site The Digital Bits<\/a> we have a great explanation of what Paramount has done:<\/p>\n

Yes\u2026 the seven featurettes listed in the press release are basically everything you get on the disc, aside from the usual DVD copy, Digital Copy, UltraViolet copy, Xerox copy and what not.\u00a0 The featurettes amount to about 42 minutes of EPK-style behind the scenes material.\u00a0 There\u2019s no commentary, no deleted scenes, no trailers\u2026 which would be bad enough.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Except\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It turns out that more extras were created for this release \u2013 more featurettes and even an audio commentary with director J.J. Abrams and members of his crew.\u00a0 None of it is available on the wide release Blu-ray or Blu-ray 3D SKUs.\u00a0 The commentary can only be found as an iTunes \u201cextra\u201d download.\u00a0 And those extra featurettes?\u00a0 Some are on a Target bonus disc.\u00a0 Some are on a Best Buy bonus disc.\u00a0 And some are only available via CinemaNow and VUDU downloads.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

That\u2019s right: More than half of the special features created for Star Trek Into Darkness were used by Paramount\u2019s marketing team as retailer exclusives.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, you read that correctly. Paramount has made the films special features limited to which retailer is selling it.<\/p>\n

The article goes on to clarify more of the details:<\/p>\n

Based on the German Blu-ray SKUs, it now appears that the list of missing content on the U.S. wide-release Blu-rays includes 5 more featurettes (The Journey Continues… Again, Rebuilding the Enterprise, Full of Wrath, Kirk & Spock and Visual Preferences), plus the commentary with J.J. Abrams and the crew and a theatrical trailer.\u00a0 The featurettes and trailer are likely what\u2019s on the Bonus Discs at Target and Best Buy and the CinemaNow downloads (Best Buy U.S. appears to have its content via CinemaNow download while the same content is on a Bonus Disc in Canada), and the commentary is obviously with iTunes. \u00a0What’s more, it now appears that each retailer (Target and Best Buy) has 30 minutes of exclusive content which, in addition to the 42 minutes available on all versions, means the grand total of all unique content is 100 minutes, not including the 2-hour commentary on iTunes.\u00a0 THAT is damned irritating. \u00a0We\u2019ll keep updating this as we confirm.\u00a0 Thanks to Bits reader Peter H. for the German info.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So there you have it. Paramount seems to have limited most of the special features are limited to the stores Target and Best Buy, everyone else is getting a barebone film.<\/p>\n

Star Trek Into Darkness will be released in the US on DVD\/Blu-Ray on September 10, 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
