Does this come with a UV copy?
Not even a DVD copy this time. Not liking these cutbacks.

You can't be serious?
finish not great if I'm being honest. Be nice if it was glossy.

I would be. You might have a Blu-ray player in every room, so might your friends, but I don't.
I agree. I find a DVD very handy and would appreciate them being included.
Adding the DVD shouldn't add to the cost. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
Most prices seem to be based on what the distributor thinks they can get away with.
Originally Disney Blu-rays came with the DVD. People complained that they already owned the DVDs so Disney removed them. They didn't drop the price though.
Early Fox releases had the DVD included in the steelbook and now look, The A-Team, Taken and X-Men came out at £10 with the DVD. Alien, X-Men 2, The Omen and Brazil all nearer £17 and yet no DVD.
Paramount's Thor and Captain America included the DVD and they were £15, so was Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. Now we get Beverly Hills Cop and Star Trek Into Darkness at the same price or more with less content.
As I say, it's what the company can get away with.
I buy a Blu-ray and don't need the DVD its that simple unless its an extras DVD then yes I want it included
If you want a DVD go and buy a DVD separately
It does add to the cost its not free to make any DVD as there are costs in its manufacture and also every DVD sold will include payments to directors/actors/film crew/Production companies involved for every DVD made and sold
It spoils the inside artwork as it hides it
If you buy a Blu-ray Release is for a Blu-ray Player
If you don't have a Blu-ray player you buy the DVD
If you need both then buy both
You might see sometimes a Studio offload unsold back catalogue DVD's in a new Blu-ray release or Blu-ray re-release to clear their DVD's stock level and use the Blu-ray release for this purpose and the price is not increased as their just getting rid of overstocks
When Blu-ray was been launched The A-Team, Taken not everyone had a Blu-ray player and was to encourage the purchase of a Blu-ray by including the DVD and then customers went and purchased a Blu-ray Player
That was years ago most people by now own a Blu-ray player so its not needed to include the DVD
What they do now sometimes is to include a UltraViolet Digital copy for portable use instead of a DVD
With a New Film Release it will add to the cost 100% including a DVD of the Film
If Inside Llewyn Davis Steelbook had not included a DVD it would have been cheaper
