As a casual movie buyer, I tend to look for DVD's with extra's. But only because I'm the gadget type of guy. But I usually just buy a film when I feel like it. I won't wait for a special edition or such.
The actual movie is the important part of the DVD, the extra's are just a bonus.
As for extra scenes: I always hope that they are optional. I like to compare original with extended versions just to see what the editor thought was important enough to be added.
All that is nice, but for LOTR I make a humongous exception: I'm waiting for the first special box set that appears. I really liked the films, and I really wanted them on DVD, but I'll wait for the box as I expect that to contain even more material than the three extended editions put together.
As a tip for 'casual' LOTR fans: wait for the box, then buy the normal editions on ebay or in the stores. They'll drop in price considerably I think.
