Another thought about the combo packs is that quite a few young families have mini vans with built in TVs and DVD players. A lot of the Disney titles allow the parents to use the DVD in the vehicle and the Blu Ray on their home system.
I too have shared the DVD with my kids and kept the Ray, but the price has to be sensible.
Heading to Wal Mart tomorrow for Barbarian.

Felt the same way myself about Blu Ray. I've been through VHS, Laser Discs and DVDS. Don't know how I missed Beta, but I did. Anyway, a cheap Blu Ray player goes for under $100.00 and most of them play regular DVDs and even upgrade the picture and sound. I've been replacing my DVDs with Blu Rays only if they are around $10.00 or if they have extras otherwise not available.
Most of the titles I have purchased, like "Comancheros" are much better than the DVD versions.
Hope that these two titles get decent releases in all formats.

Just saw that two of Duke's movies - "Barbarian and the Geisha" and "The Big Trail" will be released as Blu Ray exclusives by Wal Mart on 5/8/12. My source is the Blu Ray site.

Paula has an excellent idea about a theatrical release of a true 3D film. The only problem to me is that "Hondo" is such a short film. Maybe a double feature with "House of Wax", another 3D short movie, could lure in modern viewers.
