The reason companies are only releasing Blu's of films is because in the majority of cases the films are already widely available on dvd in the UK.
The ones that aren't come out as dual format.
The latest sales figures only show blu-ray as being 13% of total UK sales. Streaming is taking over the rental market rather than the collecting one at the moment.
