Why are they including a seperate 2d version when the 3d version is backwards compatible to 2d players?
Its a waste of discs and extra cost.
Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 3D Blu-ray Official Details
Just one day after we reported that Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs would be Sony's first stand-alone 3D Blu-ray, the studio has made an official announcement.

Yes, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs will be released on 3D Blu-ray. And yes, the release date is June 22, 2010. The debut is timed with the launch of Sony's 3D-capable BRAVIA HDTVs and Blu-ray players. The movie will also be bundled with select Sony 3D TVs.

I'm not 100% sure that this will be a separate disc. The announcement doesn't say it's a separate disc -- just a separate version. According to Amazon, it's just one disc.
However, I'm guessing they are pointing out 2D as a marketing ploy. The studio probably doesn't want to scare away people that haven't adopted the 3D format just yet.
