Yup, agreed. Got Disturbia from an Amazon BOGO shortly after it was released, along with Dreamgirls, Tomb Raider, and a few other Paramounts.
Blades of Glory was set to release a few days after Paramount went HD-DVD exclusive. They advised retailers to return any shipped quantities, but some made it out onto the shelves anyhow--hence, copies of Blades of Glory (Blu-ray) selling on eBay for $50-100 shortly after that announcement.
There were rumors that Paramount destroyed them all, but I'd bet dimes to donuts they are simply stashed in a warehouse awaiting their return to Blu.
