Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced that they’ll be releasing dual-format discs that contain both Blu-ray and DVD versions of their best titles. Built under the BD-59 spec, the new flipper discs combine a 50GB dual-layer Blue-ray format on one side and a 9GB dual-layer DVD format on the other.

The new combo discs will debut on January 19^th next year, featuring the Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and the Bourne Ultimatum.

Universal says the new discs will appeal to people either planning to upgrade to Blu-ray in the future or current owners of both Blu-ray and DVD systems. Although if it were up to us, why would you watch anything on DVD if you already own a Blu-ray player?
