How do I know which DVD special features are worth watching?

October 1, 2009 3:00 PM

What are the best websites that review DVDs? Not the movies that come on the DVDs, but the DVDs themselves?

Looking for a website that reviews things like:
--quality of the packaging
--whether a director's commentary track is worth listening to
--comparison between, say, the 1-disc version of a movie, with the 3-disc super deluxe edition.

I know of dvdverdict and dvdtalk, but am looking for something better. Suggestions?

hometheaterforum.com and the nsfw-url'd but actually quite sfw dvdbeaver.com

Perhaps AVSforum, too.

A lot of these sites are focusing more heavily Blu-Ray now, but there's still DVD reviews.

Dvdcompare.net not only has reviews that deal with the DVD extras and technical details but they also offer comparisons between all the different DVD releases for each movie or show.
