Ever bought a duplicate BD on accident? - Blu-ray Forum

You guys ever buy a BD only to realize later you already have it? Even worse is watching it before you discover it's twin sitting on your shelf!

lol I don't even have that many to be making THAT mistake. I did it numerous times with my dvds back in the day. I'm thinking alot of us have done it before.

Yes, I purchased one of the James Bond movies by accident

. Traded it for something I did not have.

Have done it with tango&cash.Bought it after I forgot I ordered it on-line.Imagine my dissapointment when it arrived in the mail

But,have double-dipped sometimes mostly on DVD,but also on T2 tin-box BD.Not the same,I know.

Yeah, to be fair.... it's MUCH easier to do when your trying to complete a series and you buy one you didn't think you had yet. I bought Saw3 twice. I still have it if anyone wants to trade! I'll take ANYTHING that I don't have yet. haha

Hasn't happened to me yet.

42041 · 12-19-2009, 05:38 PM

No, I never have. I typically buy things to watch them, not put them on my shelf, so I have a pretty good idea of what I have.

vegeta88 · 12-19-2009, 06:16 PM

Have yet to do it. I also have a pretty good idea of what is on my shelf. My brother has done it with DVDs at least twice.

Maybe I don't yet have enough movies to do this, only around 240.

AaronDodd07 · 12-19-2009, 06:22 PM

I was robbed this past month and have been re-buying everything I owned. I just noticed yesterday that I have 2 copies of each of these movies.

MADNOD · 12-19-2009, 06:23 PM

didn't happen to me, but the possibility is there

blu_sharpy · 12-19-2009, 06:25 PM

Not sure if collection is big enough yet to duplicate without knowing but when I do, i'll know i'm doing pretty good

JimShaw · 12-19-2009, 06:37 PM

I am afraid that I have. Very embarrassing.

dcowboy7 · 12-19-2009, 06:41 PM

Nope...i dont use drugs.

gettodamoofies · 12-19-2009, 07:30 PM

The only duplicate I have (or rather will have) is Army of Darkness. I'm getting it for Christmas even though it wasn't on the Christmas list and I ordered it from 101cd.com a week ago too. Didn't find out someone had bought it for me until after I mentioned it had shipped so it's just an accident. As for me purchasing duplicates, no, I've never done that myself. I am aware of everything that is in my collection of Blu-rays and DVDs.

So, eBay (or the trading forum) will be my friend!

Rovic · 12-19-2009, 07:43 PM

Hasn't happen to me, but i can see it happening to someone with a large library. I usually have a pretty good idea of which movies i already own....

How many BD's do you have? When you get up to 2-300 it gets easy to do especially when Walmart sells them so cheap. You pull the trigger before putting much thought into it. Then you go home, watch it and go to put it on your shelf and

it's already there. Happened with Usual Suspects with me. At least someone's getting a good movie for Christmas.

JJ · 12-19-2009, 08:01 PM

Maybe my collection is too small for me to accidentally double-buy.

phansson · 12-19-2009, 08:06 PM

I tend to buy movies on release day, so I haven't done this yet.

BDestroyer8418 · 12-19-2009, 08:09 PM

I did with Hellboy....I bought it at Frys I guess one day and forgot and than again another day a few months later I never opened them. I think the 2nd one I was thinking I bought Hellboy 2 which I did but forgot I bought the first one too that day.

It's ok I love Hellboy....

Then today I just bought Terminator again got it for $4.99+tax I just wanted that BadA$$ slip cover. I'll give my brother the new copy I just bought with out the cover

Thatcher · 12-19-2009, 08:13 PM

When CCity was going out I bought Hearts War I already had it. I think I got it for free via Sony when I bought 1 of my PS3s

Fighter · 12-19-2009, 08:44 PM

No...I know what I have and what I want
