If you haven't upgraded to Blu Ray you are missing out on Criterion. I thought the idea of dual format was so people that hadn't made the upgrade could by the dual and once they upgraded they had the darn blu ray too.

Excited for eraserhead!

When it comes to blu ray, I'll by an fx driven film like gravity on a blu ray disk but a story driven film like amour I just need standard. Standard DVDs still look great on a blu ray player.

Criterion Blu-Rays should come with a digital version of the film so I can watch my Kobayashi films on my iPad.

I'm pleased! The Blu-Ray/DVD combo sets came in awkwardly designed big cardboard packages that that were thicker, deeper and taller than Blu-Ray cases. Some of them are positively gigantic, like the Picnic at Hanging Rock one, the size of old VHS boxes. The DVDs also got easily scratched, as they slid into overlapping slots instead of just snapping in. One of the two DVDs for Tess (discs I didn't even want) arrived scratched, meaning it will be more difficult to resell. I couldn't be happier to see them abandon the combo format concept.

great titles.

as far as dualformat goes. people aren't upgrading to blu? blu ray players are like $40 for a low end player and are backwards dvd compatible. so whats the hold up? for blu ray criterion customers its a bad thing because the dvd was a throw in and didn't raise the price. oh well.

Blows my mind that people who buy Criterions with any sort of regularity don't have bluray players. Bluray players have been at mass market prices for a few years now and why wouldn't film buffs make the upgrade? Those criterion transfers are beautiful on bluray. I guess it doesn't effect me too much as I'll just go on buying the blurays but it's a little disappointing bluray hasn't become more popular and accepted as it's currently the best way to watch movies outside of a theater.
