First Hybrid DVD / Blu-ray Title Coming to Japan

I know that most of you buy both DVD and Blu-ray versions of your optical disc titles (insert sarcasm here). But while JVC developed a combo DVD / Blu-ray format more than two years ago, no titles have been released for it. That's soon to end, with the announcement that Japanese entertainment software developer Pony/Canon will release the first movie title on a hybrid Blu-ray/DVD disc, where else, in Japan in February.

An interesting innovation....I wonder how much it'll cost compared to a normal Blu-Ray Disc.

Just like the HD DVD/DVD combos they'll probably cost more.
