Please note that the Blu ray/DVD/digital copy combo pack of Warm Blanket is orderable through Amazon, but not sold directly by them. Apparently, this is a package intended for the Canadian market – but as Canada and the US are part of the same video encoding “region”, those disks should work just fine on your players. There is a just-the-blu-ray edition available through Walmart.com.
