The concern is double-dipping - as I'm sure you're aware, there's nothing worse than buying a dvd release, only to find it's going to be re-released on Blu-ray in a few months with superior visual and audio quality. That's why you find people reguarly asking MoC whether there's any chance of Gandahar or Nosferatu being released on blu in the near future - do you think they'd buy the dvd if there was a chance of it being re-released on blu in several months time?I'm still not sure what the grumbling is about.
You may not have a problem with double-dipping, but it is a bone of contention for some - when Une Femme Mariee was first announced as a Blu-ray release, there were at least one or two people who were unhappy that it had been annonuced as a Blu-ray release only a year after the dvd release; this then prompted them to ask Nick how many back catalogue titles they planned to re-release. The lesser the occasion for it happening, the better.
That is not what I wrote - you've not addressed my point about the context I raised. As to the 30%, I suggest you re-read what I wrote:Sure but you make it sound like they're suddenly springing 30% of the catalogue on Blu on us.
MoC have not released any new blus for three months; it has been a desert. If we come to find out that 1/4 -1/3 of the new blus scheduled for release in the next three months are reissues, it'll be a pity because I would like to see newer releases to make up for the period we have been without MoC blu.
