Sorry for hijacking your post, Matt, but I have the opposite problem. I want 
both the Blu-rays and DVDs of titles like Of Gods and Men, but my preferred 
vendor includes the following warning on combo packs: **Limited quantities will 
include bonus DVD version of the film**

When I asked what that strange blurb meant exactly, this is the response I got: 
"The studios do not inform us when they stop adding the DVD to these titles. 
You need to assume you will not get it and it is a bonus if you do."

Does anyone know of a good source that can guarantee that the combo packs 
actually include both formats?

Subject: [Videolib] New releases Blu-ray/DVD combos?

Hi All,

I’m noticing that a lot of new titles are being released as Blu-ray/DVD combo 
packs (Of Gods and Men is one example).  I don’t really want a Blu-ray copy of 
these titles and I certainly don’t want to pay $45.99 just to get the regular 
version.  Does anyone know of a good source for just the regular DVD versions?

Cheers,

Matt

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
