I don't mind a few bonus tracks at the end of an album, some bands will even include a whole EP as the bonus tracks on an album. I do find a lot of special editions with a second disc of out-takes, live tracks, b-sides, demos etc to be a waste of time as they usually just scrape the barrel. I do love when you get a live DVD or something, like with Swans' To Be Kind. Another good example is the edition of Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables by Dead Kennedys I got a few years back which included a DVD with some very entertaining live footage as well as interviews.
