    Other Release dates.

    I am just curious, no sinister reason for asking, especially as I don't even have a bluray player or copy blurays.

    Here in Australia anyway, blurays are usually released after DVDs, sometimes quite some time later.

    Does anyone know why?

    Just curious whether it is a technical reason, just marketing, or what?

    Probably not enough cheap labor in a sweatshops to press enough copies.... Who knows... I could never understand studios' marketing maneuvers. There are so many factors in entertainment game... sometimes, their actions looks so idiotic, but when you get known what really behind that decision, it make sense, and sometimes they are truly idiotic, without any excuse.

      In Sweden they are released on the same date, so it sounds as a marketing thing if they delay Blu-ray releases.

        Interesting, thank you.

        I wonder why they do it here then for most issues?

            Do they really expect people to first buy the DVD version and then some time after, buy the same movie in Blu-ray?

              Yep, and they will. Look at the Avatar... They released it and everybody get one... for Christmas, somewhere in november they said they will release 2-disc special collectors edition, and bunch will buy it too.... and oh... guess what, next year they will release 3D edition, and everybody will buy that one too. Same thing with say Toy Story - they about to release third, and first two already out there, bundled together - a reminder what that was about, and later they will bundle all three of them and sell again

                Surely it is not ONLY Australia where they do this?

                And yes they do sometimes have different editions come out, sometimes in special collectors tins, or with special features.

                However it is just the normal DVD and bluray I was curious about.

                As an example both Planet 51 and Cloudy with Meat Balls are due to be released here May 31 on bluray, just normal editions on bluray, but the DVD versions of both of these were released here weeks ago.

                  Avatar was out last week here and both DVD and Blu-ray was released on the same day.

                    Yup, same in the US
                    But wait, that's not all...
                    Soon we will be inundated with the Special Edition release promoting all those essential special features.

                    But wait, that's not all...
                    Next it will be the 3D Edition.

                    And on and on it goes just as IPopov50 said
