DISQUS

3 discs. Deluxe. Collectors. Ooooo the DVD collector in me quivers with excitement at those words. Man well over a thousand and not even a second thought as to whether I'ma double dip or not.

Coming from the music industry, this is the same crap that music labels pull on fans that have driven them away in droves. How many times do you really need to purchase the White Album? (Even Men In Black alluded to that joke.)

I love Casino Royale, purchased the DVD the week it came out and now I feel cheated. If I love Quantum Of Solace, should I purchase the DVD or wait until the next Bond film comes out to get the "definitive" version? (You could also apply this to the Dark Knight, Iron Man or any other recent blockbuster that is going to have at least one sequel.)

The bigger question is this, if I wait, will I care about purchasing the DVD in two years?

The trend that I've seen in the music industry is no. (I understand that DVD sales are down also in the same way the music industry has crashed.) Folks feel ripped off by this kind of marketing and I think it is a disservice to the fans who support films. (And music.)

well the re-release is quite cheap so if you don't want it don't get it but I see some big differences between music and film which is that I feel owning films is more desirable than owning music which is shoved on an ipod and listened to.

Why could'nt they release it like this the first time the DVD came out!? I do not like it when the studios re-release older movies already out on DVD.In this case it's called a "double dip".

Well without the double dip we would miss out on a lot of fantastic releases like the 3-disc gladiator, alien quadrilogy, 3-disc clerks etc
