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?

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?
