F#%king Triple Play

Does this annoy anyone else?

I've still got a gift voucher from Christmas so I was looking at what films I could buy. Why do distributors insist on selling me the DVD when all I want is the Blu-Ray? I don't even own a DVD player. I have a Blu-Ray player. To watch the DVD, I'd have to put it into my Blu-Ray player! There are quite a few films out that I'd consider buying, but the fact that they come with a DVD annoys me to the point that I don't want to buy them! I think it's the branding on the package that gets me. If they just slipped the DVD in and didn't tell me about it, I don't think I'd mind so much.

Sorry for the rant!
 
They did this specifically with the recently re-issued Beauty & The Beast. Released it ONLY as DVD and BR. Jackass move IMO, how many mothers of young children can afford blu ray players and HD TV's?
 
A buddy of mine loves it like that.

The packages he gets come with the Blue Ray, a regular DVD and a copy as MP4 for his i-pood, or i-whatever.

He'll watch at his place on the HDTV; if we're screening at my place, he brings the DVD; if he's on the road it takes seconds to load up his portable player.

Maybe it's marketing to the people who want to get hi-def later on, but who can't afford fancy new tvs right now? Dunno.
 
I work in Asda and get no end of complaints about it. Thats the only reason i don't like them, and the fact they're like £2 more expensive for the stuff you don't really want.

I don't like having to make up a story to keep people happy :(
