It`s a money grabbing exercise and I`m happy with not having the best discs available

It doesn`t bother me too much if there`s a good reason for it. I just thought of this after recently double dipping on Fight Club, Monty Python`s Life of Brian and The Exorcist (again!).

Is it me, or does Double Dipping sound really rude?




Giggity giggity!

I don`t mind Double Dipping at all - (no-one is forcing us to re-buy them!). Especially if they`ve expanded the movie, or repackaged it with lots of goodies/extras etc.

Off the top of my head, some I have DD on are:

- Star Trek: The original Series - original R1 releases, R2 boxsets
- Star Trek movies - original releases, re-released double discs
- James Bond Movies - original tin/boxset, re-released double discs in the new case
- Twilight Zone - original R1 releases, re-released season boxsets (in chronological order)
- Batman movies - original releases, re-released R1 double discs boxset
- Batman: The Animated Series - all the original single releases, R1 Season boxsets
- Superman - in the R1 Complete SM Collection, and the super-duper deluxe boxset with poster, lobby cards, film cell etc (...no doubt Wossname has got the Exorcist one!)
- Spider-Man - original release, R1 boxset, R2 3-disc set
- X-men - original release, 1.5 "Extreme edition"
- Daredevil - original release, R1 Director`s Cut
- Elektra - original release, R1 Director`s Cut

Plus, I`ll be DD when (yes) the Star Wars movies are re-released later this year - and Triple Dipping (oo-er, missus!) when the new Superman releases/boxset come out.

Yikes - the studios must love me, lol! (...makes up for the all those pirate dvds... ;) )

This just sounds like something revolvting involving bread sticks and nasty chocolate sauce as some confectioners idea of the perfect snack :(

I thought it was in the wrong forum and rude too. :/

Actually it`s a water slide in Blizzard Beach.

My double dipping starts and ends with Dune
Dune 2hr R2
Dune 3hr R2
Dune TV series R1
Dune SE R2
Dune Free with Observer
Dune Extended Edition 3hr + 2Hr R1
I didn`t get the Dune TV Series Special edition but I think I got all the other variations.

I still want the 5hr version of the Lych film that the author Frank Herbert saw.
