This feels like a dubious tactic merely designed to drive up DVD prices. Blue Ray seems kind of like Laserdisc -- it's more geared toward hardcore film buffs. Although I do consider myself one of those, I don't see a substantial enough difference in quality or extras (or titles, for that matter, since most Blu-Ray releases are of brand new films) to warrant getting a Blu-Ray and paying overbloated prices for discs.

Each movie in the trilogy will be packaged as a separate flipper disc. No idea on the price because it hasn't be pre listed on any of the online retail sites yet.
