I went there and complained.  I tried to be very polite and suggested 
that previews make good extras as long as they are optional.  If I had 
remembered I would have mentioned the hidden previews of Chicken Run on 
the Gladiator DVD and how much play it got on the Web (even if this 
would have been somewhat of an exageration).

I urge others to complain too.  But I firmly believe that polite 
reasoned complaints will do more good than vents.
