You scooped me ;-)
I wonder what the real motivation was? I can think of a few possible reasons:
Blu-Ray too closely associated with competitor Sony/Sony Pictures/Columbia?
PS/3 demographics not all they hoped for? PS/3's dominance in the Blu-Ray world seems to skew movie selection towards what I'd call "guy movies", and "300" seemed like a perfect fit, but other types of movies? *shrug*
Higher royalties?
