I usually hate double dipping. I don't have endless funds for DVDs, so to spend more on the same movie pains me. To date I don't think I've double dipped.

Are there many differences between the uncut International and the Deluxe? Also, Eternal Sunshine Criterion? Is that a typo?

Thanks. I'll probably end up unloading my uncut version in favor of the deluxe.

Maxflier 04-09-07 09:04 AM

I've scored a hat trick with Planet of the Apes (1968). I have the original disc that came with the Evolution set, the 35th anniv. disc and of course the Ape Head set.

daniel18 04-09-07 02:42 PM

I have a couple of double dips, but the only one I'm sure I'll triple dip on is LOTR when it comes out on HD.

yachtsman 04-09-07 03:31 PM

I have seven different editions of Oldboy and waiting for HDDVD :
