Have you rebought a movie just for the packaging?

[MaskedRider]

A few months ago I rebought Van Helsing because I wanted the new steelbook and felt it was kind of dumb to repurchase a movie just for the packaging. But now those new Kill Bill steelbooks look so awesome I'm seriously considering repurchasing those as well.

Anyone else do this?

[RyanPom]

I only rebuy movies if they add on more special features or remaster it.

[deltasun]

Answer: Yes!

[drak b]

Kinda. I rebought Spaceballs during the Black Friday sale for $4. While it was, in part, because of the extra feature and the very low price, it was also the better cover art and the fact that it was a 'newer' release. I'm going to pretend it was 100% the extra feature and price, though.

I re-bought Batman Begins and The Dark Knight for the steelbook packaging. I also re-bought all 5 Fast & Furious movies for the new matching slipcovers, although since the 6th one apparently won't match it didn't really matter. I still got the movie cash though

[BouCoupDinkyDau]

Never.

Despite liking the art on other releases of titles I already have, I've never caught myself considering buying any such art. For me, it's mostly the movie I'm interested in:

80% of the purchase is the film and its A/V mastering for blu-ray.
15% of my interest is for the extras.
5% is about the packaging and the art.

[DuranFanWI]

Yup, in fact I recently re-bought "The Ring" because of that cool lenticular slipcover. Found it at a pawn store for $3.

[Rlow3]

Yes

[I KEEL YOU]

Yeah, a couple of digibooks.

[JimDiGriz]

Guilty as charged!

I have ended up buying Jackie Brown on blu four times which is quite embarassing. I did manage to sell on 2 of those though.

Definitely being more strict about this now though. Steelbooks and digibooks are the main culprits (its not me! )

[HD Goofnut]

Yep, for digibooks and steelbooks.

[PopcornBandit]

Only if it is an upgrade (quality and supplements) over the previous release.

[Petra_Kalbrain]

I've done it a few times with steelbooks. But, it's not something I do unless the film is special enough to me. In other words, the best looking steelbook ever could be released and I wouldn't buy it if the film was only mediocre for me, but I would still have the amaray release to enjoy the film should I choose to want to watch.

[lilant2248]

I don't do it that much, but I just got Jackie Brown,MIB Boxset and The Amazing Spider-Man set last week.

[sukraj]

Nope I don't do it.

[JavaJulien]

Nope. I have upgraded from Standard Releases to Digibooks/UCE's like with Blade Runner but that's about it.

The closest I ever came was with Citizen Kane, but I passed on getting the UCE because the only thing it really has that the Digibook doesn't (outside of the larger book) is the RKO 281 dvd.

[Hussun1]

Yeah all the time. If there's a steelbook or digibook coming out, or if a new slipcover is made like with Silver Linings Playbook and also if a special edition/remastered edition is going to be released I'll double dip and just sell my other copy.

[rickah88]

Of course!
Packaging is...wait for it...part of the package.

[OneWayFilms]

Once or twice, but ONLY certain movies that I absolutely LOVE, MUST-HAVES. Oh, and ONLY if the new cover-art is better than the art work I already have. I've seen some where the new art is horrible.

[Scarriere]

I have for steelbooks. The one movie that I recall wasn't because of a steel book was Running Scared. My original wasn't OAR and when I found out that fact, I didn't want to watch it ever again. I got the OAR this past summer when it was released.
