Default How many of you sell included DVDs, Digital Copies, or 3D Discs?

Just a simple question:

How many of you sell the included DVDs, Digital Copies, and 3D discs that tend to be included in many of the new releases?

I voted other because I sell off included DVDs and 3D discs, but keep the DVDs that are included with kids/family titles.

I give 3-D 4-5 years tops before it goes the way of the buffalo like it's done several times in the past.

I keep all the discs even if I know I will most likely never use some of them. To me it would be weird having empty spots in the case, etc.

and the glasses darken the view as well. 3-d as implemented today is HORRIBLE. it looks bad, it gives headaches with those retarded glasses and it's misused horribly in films. it would need to be used sparingly and be made seamless to work. and NO GIMMICKS (like an axe flying towards your head in slo-motion) so seamless that you can barely notice the difference between 3-D and 2-D if you were even looking for it. just a depth enhancer. but studios will milk it like they did in the 70's and early 90's. and just like then people will tire and they'll ditch it.

as implemented now people are tiring of it faster and faster. everytime I go to the theater I hear nothing but complaints about not being able to see their favorite film because it's in 3D only and how much they hate 3D

I sell most Digital copies that come on a disc by themselves and sometimes if it is a DVD/DC combo disc I sell the whole thing together or occasionally redeem the digital copy myself and sell off the DVD. I have been redeeming most Disney digital copies for myself. Most DVDs get sold off, but some I will keep for my parents. Mostly I keep the DVDs for family for sets that I had on DVD before double dipping on Blu so they can still complete their DVD collection. I am doing this for Harry Potter, Narnia, Pirates of the Caribbean and probably a few others movie series.

Whenever I do dispose of discs I replace the movie case with one that fits the right number of discs to eliminate empty spots. A lot of combo packs come in double disc eco cases, so I replace them with single disc non-eco cases. The case art still mentions a DVD, but that doesn't bother me at all.

So technically I guess my vote goes to All of the above.

I keep them all, even though I don't have a 3D set up, hardly ever watch anything on dvd, and rarely if ever use digital copies. And yet, the idea of a set with a missing disc drives me crazy.

I sell everything and just keep the regular blu ray. I normally break even or make a small profit on what I spent on the title. This keeps the wife of my case at least.

Well, I haven't picked up any releases with 3D included yet. I'd keep those though as I plan on having a 60"+ 3DTV by the end of October.

Digital copies and DVDs I give to friends or family.

Who do you sell these too? Friends, stores, or internet, and i am guessing you are hanging onto the case and artwork right?

Yeah, I hang onto the case and artwork. I typically sell the non-family/kids DVDs and 3D discs on eBay and put them in paper sleeves.
