Bluray exclusive titles?

Just thought about it. Do any exist? As in programs that can be found on Blu but not on DVD?

Well, the bluray versions of LOTR movies seem to be even longer than the previous extended editions and have three more bonus discs.

Well, exclusive stuff to Blurays isn't a new thing. It's been an occurrence with new editions of films, as well as side-by-side releases of new movies.

Many of the blus I own, I own because they have features the DVD doesn't have. The ****** thing is that now companies are doing exclusivity with specific features between different Blu-editions.

For example, a movie comes out (a new release title) on DVD, which is basic. And 2 different bluray editions; a single bluray disc, and a Blu/DVD combo pack.

The combo pack is obviously more expensive, but has unique features to that edition (also is the extended edition of the film), not on the single bluray disc edition. Now, the combo pack isn't two Blu-discs, its a single blu-disc, so there should be no real reason for those features to not exist on the single edition, other than the ****ing money-grab.

Its ******, because if I'm already buying a bluray, I'm forking over extra cash, and at that point I don't give a **** about having an extra dvd copy. I don't want it, it's pointless. If you're giving me the option to get a single edition bluray, without the ****ing dvd combo, give me the features anyway instead of making two different bluray discs so you can get more money outright.

There are people who love combo packs, which is fine. Make a combo pack, and a single release for people who don't care for the dvd copy. But don't give one exclusive features that the other doesn't have for no real reason.
