King of Dreamland Avenger. Oct 27, 5, Recently I've been getting into purchasing more anime. Why is this the case? I ask because I have never found a reason to use the DVDs, so they're always just there. Deleted member Banned. Nov 13, 9, In case you don't have a blu-ray player, but you do have a DVD player? Oct 27, 2, SweetVermouth Banned. Mar 5, 4, Sega Dreamcast said:. I buy into them sometimes because the DVD can be played on my laptop if I go somewhere.
I often make my own combo packs for those two reasons and I don't often feel like selling movies. Member since: Dec Blu-ray reviews: 4. I like em because i only got one friend with a blu-ray player, not counting ps3's so i can actually take new movies elsewhere.
Have not bought one in a while so unless they went up combo's should not increase the price, and if they do it should not be buy much, unless you shop somewhere like bestbuy where msrp is a license to rape your wallet. They are handy for the car - we have a portable DVD player, as far as I'm aware there aren't any portable blu-ray players yet.
It also means the film can be watched on a DVD laptop. I like these combo packages and they work out excellent value for money; effectively you're getting the blu-ray for about five quid over what you'd pay for the DVD alone.
Home Theater Gallery: 1. But the point is marketing Member since: Mar It seems that most studios offer the 1 disc BD sku in addition to the combo usually.
If you don't want the combo, don't buy it. For me, I have three young kids and prefer to get the combo version for family movies.
That way we can play the movie in the car, on a portable DVD player when traveling on planes, etc. I like the idea of the combo but only with a separate DVD, not the flipper discs. Blu-ray reviews: 3. Love the Combo packs while they last It is best of all worlds for me personally, but realize that it may be useless frustrating for those that do not require anything but the BD. MA collection: 2. Love them actually.
Blu-Ray: Living room, basement family room, bedroom. DVD: Kid's room, mini-van. Member since: May Originally Posted by ZoetMB. But I think within the next year, we'll see far fewer combo packs as the price of BD players has dropped so much. Along with other points made, the DVD copies are good for bringing movies over for movie nights at someone's house who doesn't have a Blu-Ray player.

But I've seen it with other movies too in the stores with both versions together in a pack and I'm just a puzzled by those. Don't people who like Blu-ray get annoyed getting stuck with a DVD copy they will not likely use? Sometimes they even come with codes for digital copies. And from the very beginning, fans have complained about them. While a handful of fans used both copies, most preferred one or the other almost everybody prefers the Blu-ray versions these days , and had the idea that they were being forced to pay a premium for an additional copy in a format they didn't want.
The truth of the matter is that, while Blu-ray is significantly more expensive to manufacture than DVD, neither one adds a huge amount to a disc's manufacturing costs. The vast majority of what you pay for with a disc doesn't go towards manufacturing, it pays for the content itself and the retailer's markup. That tiny amount of extra manufacturing cost is unlikely to shift the actual retail price of the release in either direction. Having to manufacture, stock, track inventory and report royalties for only one release instead of two, however, can save a ton of money for a disc publisher.
They only need to design one set of packaging and get it approved , print one set of inserts, and use one UPC code. They don't have to worry about printing too many of one version versus the other. They get to be far more efficient and serve everybody with a single release. I certainly don't use my DVD copies. Since I don't keep the majority of my disc cases I just file away the inserts and recycle the plastic , I literally don't have anywhere to put them. For years I gave them away, but now most of my friends don't even want them.
At this point they either have a gorgeous big TV and balk at using anything but Blu-ray, or have moved on to a disc-less existence. Since DVDs are slowly getting phased out across the board, I expect combo packs to become less and less prominent, eventually only getting made for big, high-profile titles.
