Thinpack vs Normal sets urgent

Explain this to me why the hell are people so obsessed with extras?

I'm not particularly obsessed with extras but I am, for some unknown reason, obsessed with special editions. I mean, I've been buying special editions of Asian movies like crazy, yet the extras aren't even subtitled (though many don't require subs to be worth watching). If I was obsessed with extras I would want them subtitled. :p I do want all the extras I can get of one particular anime, Otogizoushi. Each of the R1 editions has 2 dvds, one with the episodes and another with extras such as historic documentaries on the Heian period and Tokyo. Considering this is my favourite anime series I really, really want to get my hands on the extras.
