What % of your HD purchases are double-dips?
 

Since a lot of people are complaining about having to double-dip on their HD purchases, how many are you getting that you've already owned on SD-DVD?

Just curious....
might have to do this type of thread occasionally since I'm sure the initial % will be higher right now because both formats are in their infancy.

Titles I own on both DVD and HD DVD:

Army of Darkness
Batman Begins
Blazing Saddles
The Fast and the Furious
Goodfellas
Land of the Dead
Pitch Black
Sleepy Hollow
The Thing

That'd be 9 of my 66 HD DVDs, or 13.6%.

14 of my 17 are double-dips. 82%

About 40%. I've stopped buying SD releases in anticipation of their eventual release on HD. Even if they are not released in a year or two or three, the title will surely be cheaper at that point.

61%

I think I'm at 12 out of 22, so about 55%.

92 of my 99 titles are titles I already owned but not double dips. Thats 93% and as I have stated before, There is absolutly no way buying a movie in HD when you had it in SD is double dipping. This is as big and substaintial of an upgrade that I have ever purchased in terms of these movies. Absolutly despise the term as its so often misused. Bottom line, I wont hesitate to rebuy a movie on HDthat I already own on SD. There just inst any comparison between the 2. HD is in a league all its own. Considering I own well over 2300 DVD's, Ifully expect my percentage to remain very high for a long long time.

PS..

Counting preorders 13 of 29. About 45%.

It would be more, but I held off on many of the more recent films and waited for the HD DVD versions.

Nine of sixteen, counting pre-orders. I have sold, or will sell or give away, the DVD versions.

12 Monkeys
2 Fast 2 Furious
Batman Begins
Bourne Supremacy, The
Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black, The
Chronicles of Riddick, The
Fast and the Furious, The
Friday Night Lights
Fugitive, The
Last Samurai, The
Polar Express, The
Red Dragon
Rundown, The
Spartacus
Spy Game
Troy

14/46 or 30.9%

If you include upcoming titles, add in:

Dune
The Mummy
Meet the Parents
The Hulk

Bringing the total to 18/50 or 36%

21 out of the 31 HD-DVDs I have so far are double(or in some cases triple or quadruple) dips.

50% 6 out of 12...

50% 1 of 2.


Hey- I just got the HD-DVD addon Saturday night :)

25 of 90 are new to me. Thus 72% I have previously owned.

I do not have my HD A2 player yet, but I have started buying HD DVDs (buy.com and DDD sales all around $16 each). 100% of my purchases have been double dips (8 received, and 6 on order). Hopefully, I did not waste my money rebuying movies I already owned and HD lives up to the hype.

75% so far have been, uh, repeat purchases.

You have nothing to worry about. Its everything its hyped up to be.

PS..

At first I only bought double dips because most of the non-double dips were movies I didn't like. Training Day was the first non-double dip purchase. So over 80% of mine are double-dips.

Without counting and dividing, a casual glance would say it is about half and half for me. There are several I will likely replace once the prices go down, but have not yet. I try to concentrate on the new releases I want and classic I have yet to pickup.

19 out of 60, so about 1/3 of my HD-DVDs are double dips. The number used to be much lower, but I went on a buying spree with google checkout offer. I was able to snag most of my double dips ~$15 each.

I only own two HD-DVDs, and I own both those movies on regular DVD.

1 out of 5 so I guess 20%

Only Enter the Dragon I upgraded on as I didn't have the most recent SE of that, only the old black snapcase. The others I got I'd been meaning to get on DVD for awhile but hadn't yet.

Other titles I got:

Mutiny on the Bounty
Unforgiven
Backdraft
The Adventures of Robin Hood

6 out of 16 blu-rays, so about 38%

0%, I do not double dip.

Not even for a technical upgrade, like an anamorphic transfer?
