If those 14 minutes have more Sinestro, I will have to slap the filmmakers in the face for cutting them out of the theatrical release.

Kinda weird it is only Blu Ray for the extended cut.
^Despite being a mostly earth bound movie it was still terrible. Plot, characters motivations were all terrible. Not to mention the jarring editing cuts. We would be perfectly fine if there was very little Corps action but what we got instead was barely mediocre at best.
And yet the Transformer films make a ton of money.
I will be buying Blu ray / DVD (haven't decided yet.) but,
I doubt that extra 14 minutes will have more space scenes because they are CGI effects heavy and those were unfinished so they had to cut them out (all this is pure speculation.), I think that the extra scenes will feature Hal's family, childhood scenes, Carol Ferris giving a short speech at function where Senator Hammond's helicopter crashes etc.
So, te movie finally opened in my country, and after all the bad reviews and poor box office I went with low expectations; and I totally enjoyed it! I don't know where the negativity comes from! I really liked the movie, I enjoyed it far more than Captain America (which I really enjoyed), it's deffinitely not a perfect movie and it's pretty cliché sometimes (then again 95% of action/superhero movies are), but all in all I think it was good; Reynold totally embodies Hal Jordan as did every other actor; I really hope it gets a sequel!

^ Careful, your bias is showing.
Also, there was some studio interference.
Not really, studios have been doing this a lot lately where the DVD is a barebones release and they go all out for the blu-ray. Terminator Salvation, Priest, Alice in Wonderland, Toy Story 3, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, Inception, X-Men: First Class and others have the blu-ray getting the bulk of goodies while the DVD versions tend to get shafted.
Can't blame them though. The kind of people who are willing to pay the premium for extra features and whatnot have pretty much moved onto blu-ray. People who buy DVDs nowadays are people who just want to be simply entertained (not that this is a putdown because this is the majority of consumers), people who buy blu-rays want more of an experience and are already demonstrating that they want a premium by buying the more expensive version.
Compressed HD cannot compete with uncompressed HD; which Blu-Ray is. Its days aren't even close to being numbered. That is if you care about AV quality.Blu-ray is probably the last bastion for disc storage media and it's days are numbered as well.
