Default Anybody ever notice..

(I posted this on the Insiders Thread a few days ago, but no one ever responded or addressed)

Can somebody tell me why the big Blu studios (Disney, Fox, Sony, etc.) re-release their content on regular DVD (every few years, it seems), but don't release on Blu Ray? Or they re-release on both DVD and BD? I thought the BDA was trying to defeat both HD-DVD as well as DVD and become the new standard format, how can this be done when the BD studios continue to re-release content on either DVD or both DVD and BD? Two examples; CEOTHK coming soon will be released on BD (as we all know), but from what I understand, will also be re-released on DVD? Why? and on Feb 5, 2008 Sony Pictures is re-releasing Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (40th Anniversary Edition) on DVD, but apparently will not be releasing on BD at all I realize all the studios, including SP are trying to make as much $$$ as possible on their content, but one would think that re-releasing a title on the same format (already saturated market), while forgoing the format your trying to grow seems to me to say; "We have more confidence in the old DVD format then we do in the new BD format we are trying to grow - very confusing, and if not confusing then simply bad business, if indeed these studios are trying to grow the BD format. One would think that at least Sony Pictures would be trying to grow BD.
