- Feature Commentary with Director Danny Boyle
- Feature Commentary with Writer Aaron Sorkin and Editor Elliot Graham
The DVD and Blu-ray release comes two weeks ahead of the 88th Annual Academy Awards ceremony, which will take place on Sunday, February 28. Michael Fassbender, who played Jobs, and Kate Winslet, who played Joanna Hoffman, have both been nominated to win an Oscar. Winslet won Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes in January and took home the award for Best Supporting Actress from The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) award ceremony yesterday.
A Digital HD version of Steve Jobs was released earlier this month on several online storefronts, including iTunes. It was given little fanfare by Apple and was not featured under the list of new releases, an unsurprising move given the negative reaction the movie received from Apple executives. Apple CEO Tim Cook called the movie and other similar Jobs-related titles "opportunistic."
Despite positive reviews, Steve Jobs saw a disappointing box office performance following its October debut, bringing in just $7.3 million during the opening weekend of its wide theatrical release. It was pulled from more than 2,072 theaters just a few weeks after its launch, but it has seen a strong showing during the awards season.

[doublepost=1455590007][/doublepost]A Blu-Ray disc wouldn't work in a DVD drive anyway.
I don't get the "worst movie ever" nonsense. The movie is well executed, has strong dialogue, and an amazing cast.
Worst. Movie. Ever!
I'd rather get a broken AC adapter, a chewed up 30pin cable, or an old ugly iPhone 3 shell, than this movie. Anything, really, would be better...
So, what does one have to do to NOT win this?
Cheers!
