"I spoke with Uni's Ken Graffeo this week, who clarified Universal's combo disc strategy. Given that most of us already own DVD catalog titles of our favorite movies, Universal plans to only release new movies in combo disc, and to release catalog titles as stand-alone HD DVDs. That means they'll no longer have tier pricing for combo discs and new releases will be competitively priced with other titles in the market. This is good news for us, since that rationalizes the price points, which I know has been a subject of debate on the Forum."

Seems like a sensible approach.

Looks like Universal might be changing it's mind re combos with the release of 'Army of Darkness' and 'Unleashed' as non combo where they have been combos releases previously. An interesting development that will be liked by some.
