LOTR shouldn't count as a double-dip, people.

So far only one for me:

double-dip (for the purposes of this thread) simply means that a person purchased a title more than once.... and not necessarily a deceptive practice by a studio to maximize sales.

I bought the original Tomorrow Never Dies, then upgraded to the SE, then bought the box set, so that's a triple-dip. And if MGM/UA re-releases their Bond titles with remastering and so forth, that could be a potential quadruple-dip.

Mulan
Peter Pan
Mary Poppins
Notting Hill
The Princess Bride
Heathers
Scooby Doo - original mysteries (came out with season set)
Batman TAS (came out with season set)

coming soon:
Pocahontas

Some because they "tricked" me, and some that I knew were eventually coming out with better versions but I didn't want to wait (The Princess Bride and Pocahontas). Notting Hill - there was no good reason for me to upgrade, and I learned my lesson. I have to really want the extra content/improved picture to upgrade. I'm still planning on upgrading Alice in Wonderland - the video on the two disc set is MUCH improved over the gold edition I currently own.

i've been pretty good about double-dipping

I did a double on the Matrix Movies
bought them individually and then got the 10-DVD set with the statue

I did another double on Lord of the Rings
bought them individually and then got the gift set with the statue and extended versions

and that's about it

Thelma and Louise

When I saw the SE for $10 I bought it and gave the old one to my mom. She was pretty psyched.

God, I don't even want to think about it. Several.

A worse thread to think about would be how many movies did I buy and never get around to watching at all and then finally trading them. I shudder to think how much money I have wasted on unwatched (or just watched once) dvds since I bought my first player back in '99.

I usually have a good eye for getting the best possible edition the first time around, but even I have to admit I end up double-dipping every once in awhile.

Memento -> Limited Edition
The Patriot -> Superbit Deluxe
Speed -> Five-Star

...and I plan on making a few more double-dips before everything's said and done.
