DVD Easter Eggs

I found one on The Day Today DVD:

On the "select episode" menu of DVD 1, flick through the menu from episode one to episode six, then back to one, and then forward again. Between episodes four and five (you have to be quick) is "episode 7". An audio only thing.

Anyone ever found any others?

if I know a DVD has easter eggs I just look 'em up on the net, can't be bothered hunting for them.

I didn't know it had one. I found it by accident.

Thanks for the tip Mark. I'll flick through the Forum and Philly DVDs tonight and hopefully find the new album that came out last year ...

I once wrote a flight sim videogame where if you log in as pilot "Fluffy Dice", guess what you got in the cockpit? :lol:

The reason I put Easter Eggs in videogames is that its more fun than working and ....

nope, that's the only reason :lol:

i think a DVD "easteregg" comes from the same school of thought
that the bright spark who thought of making the last track on a music
CD 14 mins 43 seconds long and 3 mins before the end, a "bonus"
track appears.....like, whats the point ?
Either I've paid for the track or not.... should I have to skip through
11 mins on my cd player everytime I want to hear it, too ?

Perhaps I'm supposed to find that activity fun......

Weren't Nirvana first with that little trick with 'The Secret Song'/'Halloween'/'Endless Nameless' (or whatever it's called this week) on Nevermind? I knew people who had the CD for years and never knew it existed. :roll:

There's one on The Stone Roses Second Coming too; except rather than having 11 minutes or whatever of silence before the song on the last track, tracks 13 to 98 are all 3 seconds of silence, and track 99 is the "secret" track. Silly.

Didn't Nine inch nails "broken" CD do that as well?
I guess it was novel, for about 20 seconds, back in 1992.

Danzig did the same with the Demonsweatlive EP (track 99 is the studio version of "Mother" as a secret track)

Flux of Pink Indians did something similar with their first LP I see to remember (on the vinyl version at least)

Eh?

There were 3 minutes of silence so you thought the record was over, then it started up again
