Bladerunner difficulty

This is one of the things I don't get about the 'entertainment industry', the deletion of popular DVDs. I'm just re-reading 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep', the Philip K. Dick story on which the film Bladerunner is (loosely) based, so I was looking to watch Bladerunner again. I did my usual thing of heading to my local DVD stockists only to be told that the DVD had been deleted (I was told this by a couple of stores). I find this especially odd as I can buy this no problem at Amazon - very odd. Oh, in case you're wondering (you weren't, I know ), I do recommend reading the book then watching the movie again - you'll be surprised at how many details are filled in by the book that are ignored in the film (what;'s the significance of the owl???).
