Re: What percentage of your blu-ray's are double-dips?
I think the only ones I have Doubled on are IronMan and The Dark Knight.
I am trying to not spend money on upgrades and at this time I no longer buy DVDs and only buy BRs.
Still watch my old DVDs, but BR is the one way to go.

John Adams (DVD, BD)
Mad Men Season 1 (DVD, BD)
Mad Men Season 2 (DVD, BD)
Monster's Inc (2-disc DVD, BD)
Pinocchio (2-disc DVD, BD)
Snow White (2-disc DVD, BD)
Triple-dip:

The only title that isn't an upgrade/double dip is UP.

Re: What percentage of your blu-ray's are double-dips?
Hmmmm... I'd guess around 60%. Mostly because of the WB sale in which I bought every title that fit my criteria for upgrade:
1. Spectacular scenery/special effects
2. Any movie that I consider a 7.5 or above
3. The blu-ray is $3 or less.
I stopped getting new releases that are not Blu-ray. I have around 50-60 BRs and 75-100 HD DVDs. I own a HD DVD player, but not a Blu-ray player YET. But at least when I buy one, I'll have plenty to watch.

130 out of 246, less than I thought. I essentially cut off DVD purchasing three yrs ago, which really helped. I also never bothered with a lot of the DVD SE's so getting a the BD upgrade is definitely worth it.

3 out of 15 = 20%
Bought IronMan and The Dark Knight right after buying my Blu-Ray Player, had to have them.
The 3rd was a few weeks ago, Phantom of the Opera for $4.99 at Target.
I am doing a great job in not buying movies on Blu-Ray that I already have on DVD - can't justify the extra money.

Don't want to know. I really don't want to think of the DVDs that I sold that were still sealed because I upgraded it to Blu-ray and that version still remains sealed...
