Indeed. We now have a nice new (and better) format to release titles on. So what they do? Re-release DVDs. Pointless. Now if these were BD announcements, I'd be excited. But re-releases of DVDs most of us already have? No.
I was pissed off that the licensor of
Vampire Circus insisted on Synapse locking their release to Region A. And what did the UK get? A re-release of the DVD, but no BD. What's the point in that? If there's no UK release, then what sales would be lost if the Synapse disc was region-free? The BD scene is chaotic and nobody seems to be steering things in a clear direction. Re-releases of DVDs abound whilst ignoring high definition. Stupidity.
