Since I have a stack (small) on my desk of the blu-ray copies from these Sony films, I would have to agree with the matching idea. Though, considering these are already a cataloguing nightmare, I'm not sure any additional work would go over well!!!!!!

Great idea in theory, but this would be a royal PITA for cataloging and auditing for many folks. Best, ************************* Meghann Matwichuk, M.S.

All I can find for sale is a Blu-Ray or Blu-Ray Combo Pack. Does anyone know if Sony is planning to release a standard DVD version? I checked their website, but they only list the combo pack. I did not see any place on their website to contact them. Thank you for your help with this matter.
