Do you keep doubles of movies (i.e. Blu-rays and DVD editions)? - Blu-ray Forum

drownsoda · 02-17-2019, 05:21 AM

Recently I've been kind of assessing my collection of movies, and noticed that I've held on to so many DVD editions of films after I've gotten them on Blu-ray. Specifically, I accrued a lot of Anchor Bay DVD titles over the years, many of which were at one time extremely rare—the thing now is that a lot of these have since been reissued on Blu-ray and I've gotten said Blu-ray reissues, so I just don't know if there's a point in keeping the DVDs anymore. I think I've unconsciously clung onto them out of sentimentality, because at one time they were "holy grail" items in my collection, but if I have superior Blu-ray versions, I really cannot rationalize why I should keep them unless they contain some sort of bonus material that wasn't carried over to the Blu-ray.

My current thinking is that I should take some of these DVDs and sell them, and in turn use that money for more Blu-rays that I've been wanting. I've looked online and some of those Anchor Bay DVDs still fetch considerable prices even with the Blu-ray reissues available. Was just curious what others here did in this situation. I've kind of been in format limbo for years and retained a mixture of both, but am trying to purge what I have and make my collection a bit leaner, and the doubles of titles on both formats is inevitably going to eat up my shelf space.

I own now only a handful of DVDs...all titles that still aren’t on Blu. When a Blu comes out, I get rid of my DVD Edition. The only times I keep the DVD is if some extras aren’t ported over to the Blu.

shinobipopcorn · 02-17-2019, 05:29 AM

For the most part, I keep what I paid for since I never had that big of a collection to begin with. I've gotten rid of most of my old tapes, but DVDs are still useful.

DJR662 · 02-17-2019, 05:34 AM

Whenever I upgrade a certain title, I always sell or give away the old one. No need in keeping it, I have a shortage of space already as it is.

TripleHBK · 02-17-2019, 05:41 AM

Titles that I own the DVD of I will combine with the blu ray into it's own custom combo pack if the Blu Ray release didn't already include one. Blu Ray upgrades are also kept unless the exact same disc is included with the upgrade. At this time space really isn't that much of an issue and generally speaking the prices I feel I could get for the older releases (particularly DVD's) if I were to sell them doesn't equal what they are worth to me by keeping them in the collection, so yeah, I have have several instances of older/newer blu ray releases in my collection.

foreigncontaminant · 02-17-2019, 06:08 AM

A few years ago, I did the same - sold many DVDs (often at the demand of my demanding wife at that time), whenever I got the new Blu-ray.
However, I’ve since changed my mind (and my wife). I still have quite a lot of DVDs left. But there are a few I sold, that I would now actually buy back if I found them again.

There are a few reasons for this. And I may be alone on most of these...

The first reason is sentimentality. The arrival of DVD was very exciting back in the mid-late 1990s. I can still remember friends saying to me in 1995 “man, when is DVD going to get here?”. My father and I had a lot of fun gathering the films we enjoyed (mostly Sci-fi), and experiencing them for the first time in this superior quality new format of the time (to what had existed before). In about 1998 or so I bought a CRT based widescreen Grundig TV for $2500, a Japan-made Toshiba DVD player, and we thought we had it made on the many saturday nights when we watched our favourite films. He has since passed away, and of course, I miss those times immensely.

The second reason is, I personally think films can be appreciated and enjoyed at lower quality levels than Blu-ray. Every film I saw at home in the 1980s was on VHS. The first time I ever saw Star Wars, was actually at age 10 on a tiny black and white TV, during a TV broadcast (so it had commercials). Yet I love them all just the same. And while a clear, high res picture is of course fantastic, in some cases (particularly with older films) it can over-expose detail which actually hampers the believability of a film for me - eg where special effects do not hold up as well in sharper, higher resolution.

Third reason is extras and alternate versions. Last week I bought Crocodile Dundee on DVD due to it being an early, alternate version, which may never appear on Blu-ray.
I will never sell my special edition of The Abyss on DVD either, as it includes a great booklet (remember the days when DVD releases included booklets?). And The Last of the Mohicans is another example - the Blu-ray cut of the film is different to the DVD, critically in relation to the soundtrack.

Fourth reason is, of course, that many films are not (and will not) ever be released on Blu-ray. So keeping those is a given.

Plus sometimes just the cover art of an old DVD you have had for years, is great. Great memories of enjoying that particular film, and reading the cover. Then one day they release a Blu-ray, and you buy that too, but the cover just sucks for some reason...

No, I’m never getting rid of my DVDs now. They’re not worth much anyway, and they’re worth more to me. Guess I’m a sentimental fool. But if it brings you joy, or if you’re sentimental, or you think you might regret it later - don’t sell.
If not, sell and do what works for you.

darkness2918 · 02-17-2019, 06:14 AM

The only time I keep a double of a film is if one copy has exclusive features that I care about or it has a different cut of the film that's not on BD. Other then that I personally don't have a reason to own more then 1 copy of the same film.

AaronJ · 02-17-2019, 06:18 AM

I have double-dips of Blu-rays/DVDs. I have double-dips of Blu-rays/Blu-rays. I don't really get rid of any of them, though I think I need to find a place to store my DVDs because I'm out of room for Blu-rays.

But for example I imported both Sliding Doors and Ghost World from Germany. Then, I think it was a couple months later, Criterion announced Ghost World ... so now I have both. I just don't feel like getting rid of it. Etc.

Michael24 · 02-17-2019, 06:27 AM

I sometimes did for awhile, depending on various reasons, but not anymore. Whenever I upgrade a title to Blu-ray, the DVD goes into a box in my closet and then once enough of them have piled up I haul them off to the local Rasputin Music to sell. I've gotten some pretty good money in return (between $150-$180 on a couple occasions) that I've then put towards more Blu-rays.

thecalm_7 · 02-17-2019, 06:35 AM

as others have said, alt cuts of a film. That's the Number 1 reason for me. Number 2 reason is Short Films. It seems as European, particularly Arrow releases often have short films of the director on their editions and be it Criterion or Shout/Scream, they rarely have them on our domestic releases. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Videodrome come to mind. Keeping them for the short films.
Due to some early mistakes in letting DVDs go in preparation for X release on Blu, I do wait now until a full list of features is available. Criterion with their 3 month notice helps decide if I'd keep a film or sell it. (CC release of Kwaidan on BR is Longer cut, DVD is shorter cut, Last Emperor BR drops a cut of the film, Carnival of Souls DC on DVD, BR is theatrical and DC parts are not intact in the film, only extras) as well). Holding on to DVDs now due to some censoring issues that occured

DVDs are pretty worthless now in most circumstances. The best bet is probably to just give them away or combine them in a custom case with the blu.

CSM101 · 02-17-2019, 06:49 AM

I use to get rid of my dvds as soon as I bought the bluray version with little regard to losing extras not available on the bluray. As of late, I have become more clingy to my dvds even if I upgrade. Sometimes I open up my old discs and see they are in near mint condition. (Often with that new smell still intact) I guess I want them to stay that way. Maybe it’s a subconscious thing with the slow decline of physical media or maybe I’m just an organized hoarder. Who knows?

Blu MacReady · 02-17-2019, 06:58 AM

I tend to get rid and sell them. I have kept doubles if the BD is oop or expensive to replace and the dvd the same, for films I wouldn’t want to be without. These are very rare instances though.
I did keep for extras, but it’s very rare I have the time to watch them or rather choose to watch them over watching a film.

I can’t see a time where I’d choose to watch the dvd over the BD and same now with BD over UHD. Players are too cheap nowadays to worry about replacing. I have the unaltered Star Wars DVD’s and the BD set so maybe that would be the occasion I’d watch dvd over BD. There are a few different versions or cuts of films from one format to another, again those are doubled.

I still appreciate dvd and happy to watch films I own on dvd that are not on BD or UHD.

You’d be surprised how some hold good value. In the UK we have a place called CEX who give cash or voucher for dvds. Sure a lot are a penny. I’d probably chuck those ones unless worth keeping for any of the reasons listed in this thread.
But some are fetching more then a BD they’d sell. Examples, I upgraded No Man’s Land (80s Sheen) to BD I think Kino? The dvd got me £6 ($8?) voucher. That paid for Urban Legend, Return to House on Hauted Hill and Tropic Thunder upgrades to BD that they had in store (£2,£3 & £1 respectively).
It’s even better usually with BDs that I now have on UHD (which include the BD so am not actually losing anything). The John Carpenter dvds and BDs I had once sold paid for one of the UHDs I replaced with.

Reading here you guys have Rasputin Music, sounds similar scenario. So I’d check that dvd before throwing away.

StingingVelvet · 02-17-2019, 07:43 AM

If the old disc has some exclusive extras and isn't worth anything anyway, like The Witness on DVD, I'll keep it. If the old one is worth something then it depends on how much I care about what I'd lose.

Also I like booklets, so I'll keep an inferior release that has a booklet. Arrow's Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Invasion of the Body Snatchers are good examples of that.

There's a few label releases where the old studio release actually has better video, but I got the label release for the extras. Shout's Cyborg and Robocop 3 are good examples.

kyloren · 02-17-2019, 08:48 AM

I own less than a dozen DVD's, so I don't have that problem!

Of the handful of 4K discs I've double dipped on (already owning the Blu-Ray) I keep both. I guess I'm lucky that I'm a bit younger so when I started collecting movies Blu-Ray was the normal.

DR Herbert West · 02-17-2019, 09:05 AM

I have multiple copies of Blade Runner.

5 copies of Re-Animator.

3 copies of Halloween.

I try to avoid having doubles in my collection.

Bobbyjoe766 · 02-17-2019, 09:24 AM

Yes. I collect various editions of my favourite titles, for the purpose of archiving all supplemental materials and audio options.

The original DVD (20th anniversary) release for ALIEN contains the studio audio - not carried over for the Quadrilogy or Anthology sets.

Conversely, I binned my original 2000 and 2005 DVD (R4) releases for JAWS (neither offered the original mono audio track) in favour of the Blu-ray release - but kept the R1 2005 two disc DVD set (with booklet) for the mono audio and no digital erasure of visible lines or sailboats in shot.
