This would re-introduce the movie to the public, creating awareness that it still exists, haha. Therefore, the blu ray buying audience can buy it now since some didn't pick it up earlier.

By the way, V for Vendetta and 300 are being re-released? I may have to look into that, because I MYSELF don't have those! Haha!

(This tactic even works on me, sadly.)

I can't even count how many different Terminator releases they've pumped out.
