Anyone here buy multiple copies of same DVD?

[oldmoviebuff]

A friend of mine has more than one copy of several movies because copies came out that have bonus features that he likes. I kind of laughed at him because I wouldn't buy a DVD just for the extras but it made me wonder if other people do the same thing? Perhaps I'm in the minority on this.

i don't do it, but i get mad when i already own a dvd and they release a "special edition" that has special features that we not included on the one i already own.

no, i'm not giving them any more money have i already have, but i will shake my fist in fury at the cover of the new box.

<--- kinda like him

I'm trying to think of what special features would be *so special* that I would fork out the money to buy another copy. Frankly, I have a hard enough time forking out money for the first copy.

So no, I'm thinking you're not in the minority on that one, you simply have friends who are high rollers.

There are times when I will buy multiple copies of the same film, but only when I have a legitimate reason for it.

Key deciding factors are super low prices, how rare the film is, and I think that I could re-sell any extra copies for more than I paid for them.

[fidget]

Yes, but it depends on the film. There are a couple I would fork out more money for a special edition, but only my favorite films and cult-classics. Otherwise, no. How often do you watch the special features anyway.

I have done so once but it was more by accident than anything else. I'd ordered this trilogy and it got 'lost' in the mail. When I complained, they sent me another copy - and then the first one finally arrived. I advised the vendor, paid for the extra copy and gave it to a friend as a gift.

No, I have never done this nor would I. If I really want to see it, I'd see if a friend had it that I could borrow, or else if it was at the store or library. But I don't see the point in owning more than one copy-especially since the special features are generally a watch once only event!

[Digital]

I have never done it and I done think I will either, I think the substance of the movie is what I already bought so I done need to spend some more money just to see a 2 minute addition.

Today I just bought the 1978 Superman - The Movie on Blu-Ray.

That means I've owned it:

- On video
- On laserdisc
- On the first 4-disc box set
- On the latest 13-disc box set
- On Blu-Ray

Now ask me how many different verisons of Star Wars I own...

See now, that's where I'm back to getting angry on the one-sidedness of this whole copyright issue. Once you pay for a movie, you should be allowed to legally download a copy in an up-to-date format once an older format has become defunct without having to repurchase it. I don't feel it is fair for movie companies to get to double, triple, quadruple dip into consumers pockets when the issues of technologies are beyond our control.
