HD/Blu-ray + Lack of Special Features = Standard DVD Purchase.

I'm in this boat for double-dips which I swore I wouldn't do, but I find I'm willing to do for my most favorite films. On new releases I haven't had to make this choice yet.

However, I didn't get the Memento BD for exactly the above reason - it is stripped of special features (including the awesome branching commentary track on the LE).

I don't buy a whole lot of DVDs these days. I've probably sold more SD DVDs this year than I bought HD+DVD total. I ended up with 15 HD-DVDs this year (including 2 of freebies I kept) and probably 5 DVDs on the cheap.
