Buying Up (4 Disc Combo Pack with Digital Copy and DVD) [Blu-ray]

This is a product review. There are many positive reviews of the movie itself, and I agree it's a wonderful movie..up to Pixar's standards.
BUT:
Disney seems to think that they can take advantage of the consumers merely because this is a Pixar film. Notice:

The SINGLE disc set contains:
The movie
Dug's Special Mission
Partly Cloudy

The TWO-disc Edition contains:

DISC ONE:
The movie
Dug's Special Mission
Partly Cloudy
Commentary
The Many Endings of Muntz
Documentary

Disc Two:
Digital copy ONLY...no other special features on disc two...

If the second disc of this "TWO-disc Special edition" only contains the digital copy, then technically speaking, the first disc could (and/or should) be EXACTLY the same for both the single and two-disc versions.

Some people would rather have ALL of the bonus features and NO digital copy. What's more: the digital copy requires a special code to access it, and the code expires...so it's not really a "two-disc" deluxe version for very long.

For those who complain about the Blu-ray version, I feel your pain as well. Even so, I would appreciate it if Disney put all of those "Blu-ray exlcusive" features on regular DVD as well..maybe if those were included as part of the "Two-disc" version, then it wouldn't look as bad.

Even the makers of the Luxo Lamp have noticed Disney's ridiculous attempt at corporate greed for this film. They are suing Disney for offering a replica Luxo Jr. Lamp with a limited number of copies of the blu-ray version of UP. Disney didn't have the right to the lamp, and message boards are claiming that the replica is largely plastic (versus the actual metal Luxo lamp). Disney is trying to sell an inferior product, and they deserve the lawsuit.

As much as I want to buy this film, I am simply disgusted with Disney and Buena Vista Home Entertainment for their ridiculous DVD treatment of this film.

I miss the day when only one superb version of the film was released for one price, i.e., Finding Nemo...
