DVDs, Blu-rays will carry two unskippable government warnings. Paying customers always lose? Thanks Ant.

The pirating screen has already been there for like ever. The rating screen. Big whoop. This wouldn't ever be a reason why I would pirate a movie. Some DVD's as we know have 15 minutes of advertising and some don't allow a skip. Those are way more intrusive.

I get the rabid desire of "if they do this, we will do that", but at best it's adding a longer rating screen.

In addition to all of the other crap they display before the main menu, it's too much. It was already too much even. Some Blu-rays are obnoxious about that crap and some of them in the past have even featured unskippable advertisements.




Playing: Faster Than Light, Tales of Graces F, Fire Emblem 3DS Watching: Ghost in the Shell, Hannibal, Oblivion
