Arrow have never made a secret that this will be a Blu-ray only release, as you can tell from the very
first post.
By way of explanation, recent trends have indicated where a film has had a DVD release there is greater interest in a Blu-ray but not as much in a new DVD. Therefore there will be select titles which will be Blu-ray only, this will allow us to save time by working on one format and also use that time and money to invest in more releases.
I hope this answers any queries you have.
