Economy of scale and also slightly different, but related, media format. Criterion has them printed in bulk.

Yeah ok, but as we've established in this thread, Blu Ray discs don't cost $25 a piece. At any level. So.

Again, writable Blu-ray is a slightly different format from what you would buy with a movie on it. They are not putting Criterion movies on the same discs you could burn them to in a drive.
