Default Getting Annoyed with DVD's

Hello

I have noticed that recently DVD's have started to put non-skippable trailers at the beginning. It's incredibly irratating.

Shrek 2 for example has a trailer for Sharks Tale and Madagascar. Good to watch the first time, but not *every* time I put in the DVD.

Sorry, general rant ..

Steve.

It's a right pain. Cinemas are the same though as you get 20 minutes of adverts and trailers before the film starts, and because they don't do seat allocations you must get there early to get a good seat.

I wonder if one could take it back and demand a refund, as you bought the film, not a trailer!

Annoys me as well. If I've paid for a DVD I don't want to be forced to watch advertising. That's why I pay for things. If I wanted to watch ads I'd wait for it to hit Sky.
