Can't wait for digital downloads so we can stop all the nonsense over slipcovers, packaging, etc.

Ugh, what are you doing on bluray.com!?

Anyway, I've sold quite a few standard blu rays to get the steelbook versions. E.g...

BLACK RAIN - replaced standard UK release with German steelbook.
SPARTACUS - replaced standard UK release with ltd edition UK digibook.
EXORCIST - replaced standard UK release with Canadian steelbook
BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA - replaced US release with UK steelbook pre-order
ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS - replaced US release with Arrow UK one, then replaced that with Arrow's steelbook that was released later.
etc etc...

I've also done the opposite with films I'm not so wild about. E.g. I sold the UK steelbook of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS and replaced it with the standard US release I won on ebay and made about £10 in the process lol.

Generally I sell the old versions and therefore don't lose much money and on occasion make a little bit.

I just think if you really like a film you should have it in the best looking package. Artwork is important Double dipping is where I draw the line, I simply don't have enough free cash for that! And if I'm buying a blu to replace a DVD I always sell the DVD, even if its just for pence, because there's no point having it take up space.
