Netflix's Blu-ray selections (or lack thereof)

Anyone else a bit irritated with Netflix not carrying the Blu-ray versions of several of the movies they offer? There are several titles in my queue that are out on Blu-ray, but for whatever reason, Netflix doesn't carry them! I'll look through my queue and pull out some specific examples later. Just wanted to vent a bit!

Only annoyance I've found is a new release like Ichi.

Well, one example I was thinking of was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, since I've been interested in seeing it again. But looking at Amazon, I see it must be OOP because there are a couple used copies people are trying to sell for $129 and one for over $11,000

I've been wanting to rent my way through the Saw series, but for some reason they don't have Saw II available on Blu-ray, even though all the other ones are.

Eternal Sunshine never came out on Blu-ray in America. There are other releases in different countries, but Netflix does not carry those.

So far they've had most things I've wanted to see in BD. The only one I can think of was True Blood series but they may have added BD since I put it in my queue.
