The Awkward Moment When iTunes Has Better Extras than the DVD  
Or, a comparison of the different extras on different versions of the Avengers DVD.

Sharing the love so you know which version you'd like to buy of the movie. Also, keep in mind that this is the region 1 DVD/Blu-ray, and I'm using the Canadian iTunes, so other iTunes stores may vary. I'm personally going to buy the iTunes version.

*peers* Soooo, this means I don't have to buy a blu-ray (without any DVDs) in order to get the extras?

Hopefully?

I think the Blu-Ray disc is the only version that has the extras, but there is at least an option of having extras on other mediums.

*waits for iTunes to download the series 7 trailer of Doctor Who so she can flip over to the US site to check*

The US iTunes version has the same extras as the Canadian version, so there's an option there for you.

I don't have a Blu-Ray player either, nor do I particularly want one. I don't see the point of spending extra money for a movie or TV show when you can buy it for cheaper or rent it from the library.

Oh, screw them, then. I got confused with the blu-ray/DVD combo thing.

*pause*

I may have Opinions on the studios and companies trying to force people to spend more money just to get extra things.

*scowls* Right, then. Ugh.
