Arrow were always going to do this as the DVDs (when there is an Arrow Video BD available) simply don't sell well enough to justify the production costs, which are very high when you take into account posters, extras and multiple artwork panels.
The plan, therefore, was always to move these titles to ArrowDrome once stocks ran out. However, the fire at Sony has destroyed all stock not already with retailers and so this has forced the guys at Arrow to put this plan into action sooner than anticipated.
No dark ulterior motive to deprive fans of Arrow Video DVDs. Fact is, not enough people were buying them when they could get the Blu-ray version instead.
