Blu-ray or DVD?

[Guest]

I was surprised to read a review today that referred to a Blu-ray as a Blu-ray DVD. Surely the two formats are discrete and therefore must be referredd to as either Blu-rays or DVDs (but not both)?

Correct.

But you do get those irritating (and expensive) Triple Play boxes with films duplicated on 3 discs: Blu Ray, DVD and "Digital copy" (an absurd term as the the other two are digital copies anyway).
