Quick answer
Buy the Chico and Rita Blu-ray + DVD combo if you want the film on Blu-ray and a DVD copy for a second player or loaning out. Skip it if you only need one disc format or expect a loaded extras package, because the supplied catalog lists no bonus features.
The combo's real value is format flexibility, not extras
The supplied catalog describes this edition as a Blu-ray + DVD set but does not list commentary tracks, interviews, or other bonus materials. That makes the second disc the main practical difference: a DVD you can play in a laptop, car system, or older player without moving the Blu-ray.
Price and catalog comparison
The catalog price is USD 13.99 against a comparison price of USD 19.99. That gap matters only if you actually use the DVD copy; if you will never touch it, compare against a single-disc Blu-ray before ordering.
Decision rules for buying Chico and Rita
- You have two players: Choose the Blu-ray + DVD combo so the Blu-ray stays with your main setup and the DVD travels.
- You want bonus features: Do not assume extras are included; the supplied catalog lists none, so treat this as a film-only purchase. Check the disc label or back cover for a features list before checkout.
- You only watch Blu-ray: Compare the USD 13.99 catalog price with a single-disc Blu-ray; the DVD copy is the only reason to pay for this set.
