Considering what dvds cost ALL versions should come with extras.
I'm all for extras but...
Personally, in my "perfect world", the actual disc that the feature presentation itself is on would be "extras free" (no painful animated menu screens either) but there would be a second or third disc that has all the other stuff, fluff, animated menus or whatever else they dream up.
Again, personally, when I want to watch the movie, I don't want to be forced to sit through all the animations, ads, trailers or whatever or have a bunch of other stuff that takes storage space (and thus quality) away from the movie itself.
So, it's not saying "no" to extras, just "yes" to putting all that stuff on a separate disc in the same package.
As to the Avatar blu-ray, it sounds like the version I'll probably wind up getting. I'm not too worried about the whole 3D thing. I left Avatar with a mild headache... nothing horrible... but I can't imagine wanting to watch movies and shows in 3D much myself. Maybe the younger generation will get attached to it but I'm just fine with good ol' 2D myself.
