Default Double Dipping to Save Shelf Space... Do you ever do this?

I'm going to state right up front that I guess this can be chalked up as a true first world problem, but anyway...

I have a pretty huge movie collection, and I always used to say in the early days of Blu-ray that I would only double dip on "bigger" titles and ones I only considered my favorites that I already had on DVD...

But as my collection has grown, and as I've seen really good Blu-ray deals pop up from time to time, my reason for double dipping occasionally can be blamed on wanting to free up a little shelf space.

Case in point... I had and loved the Alien Anthology collection on DVD, but the original set was huge and took up a lot of room. The Blu-ray set offered better picture and audio quality AND took up considerably less room on my shelf... and when it hit $19.99 as a deal of the day at Amazon a while back, I finally gave in.

I've done this with a handful of single titles as well. The Crow comes to mind. The original Collector's Series double DVD case was huge. That disc had either audio or video problems as well, I forget which, so when the Blu-ray dropped to $4.99 one day, I snagged it.

I've also bought triple feature sets (always on sale and never more than $9.99 or $12.99 usually) that only take up one singular case, to replace DVDs that I had 3 different cases for.

I still feel guilty sometimes, like I'm wasting money on things I already have when I could be buying movies I don't already have or putting the money toward non-collection things... but do any of you do the same?
