    99% of DVD menus would have the “Play movie” pre-selected, letting you activate it with a single press of the Play or Select button.

      I have vivid memories of sitting through the copyright banner/FBI warning, waiting for the janky menu to load, trying to figure out which button had focus, starting the movie, sitting through ads for movies that came out years ago, and then the movie would play.

      Maybe my memory isn’t accurate, but I don’t miss DVD menus.

        I think we’re focusing on different aspects. My comment was limited to the way main menus worked — “Play feature” or whatever would just about always be the pre-selected option. I was replying to this:

        Those old DVD menus that wanted me to mess with extras sucked.
