Some of the few R1s I had have ads also but in the form of inserts and usually is a promo related to the movie/DVD itself.
The R1 DVD of
Heroes: Season One also has a commercial that plays when you insert the disc. But it's different from these annoying R3 commercials because:
a. You can fast forward through it;
b. It's very short. A longer version of the commercial is present on the disc, which you can access through the special features; and
c. It's a commercial for the
Nissan Versa, the car driven by characters Ando Masahashi/Hiro Nakamura on the series, so it will bring a smile to any
Heroes fan's face.
Maybe if Magnavision
must place commercials on their DVDs, they can note the above. Particularly reason
a.
