I just press the menu button and skip them outright.

Yep, that's what my wife and I do too. This "fast forward block" is being done to ALL DVD's - NOT just the ones for rent. Our first experience with this was on the copy of Shrek 2 we bought. An ad came on for a similar movie coming out this year, but when I hit the Fast Forward button, nothing happened and we were forced to watch the ads on the DVD before getting to the main movie menu.

But my wife was the one who discovered this same trick, that hitting the "Menu" button simply bypasses the ads and allows you to go straight to the movie. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I also agree that I DO have the RIGHT to SKIP the ads on any movie if I actually BUY a copy of it.
