Halloweeen 2 : The 30th Anniversary Edition

Only a few days ago did I hear of the news that the fan-favorite sequel Halloween 2 is going to be released for a anniversary special edition in September of this year, but the main problem is...it is only being released in Blu-Ray! I don't understand why, especially after fans have been dying for the extra material, they wouldn't simply extend the much awaited release to the DVD format for even more people to enjoy, and for their profits to increase. It really just bothers me because I don't have a Blu-Ray player and I'm dying to see the extra goodies and visual enhancements that this edition brings. On top of that, I don't believe that the Blu-Ray even has many extras -- what I've heard about is a documentary and an alternative ending. By "alternative ending", is Universal referring to the TV cut ending in the ambulance ("We made it!") or something never before seen to anyone? And why aren't there more scenes? or even include the whole TV cut? I don't get why they simply cannot release everything at once and make wheelbarrows of money of it. Maybe something will come along in the form of an "official" release (the TV cut isn't even played on AMC anymore) that won't be too far down the line. I don't know...
