In that case, I hope all copies of each title sell and their ambition does not result in a big financial loss. I'd much rather Arrow released small titles in this way that on DVD under the ArrowDrome sub label with no extra features.
That said, if it doesn't pay off to go HD, ArrowDrome is
much better than nothing!
