What Blu-rays are worth a double dip? - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

I'm waiting for the double dip on Departed. Thought it would have came by now.

JTStarkiller · 11-23-2009, 04:22 PM

There's also Superman Returns too. Didn't that get an audio upgrade?

Hammie · 11-23-2009, 07:19 PM

All movies are worth double-dipping... eventually.

I think it really depends on how much you like the movie and whether the potential better audi and video would interest you on a given title.

For me, the answer is "yes" across the board. That is why I have double-dipped on about 30 or more titles.

Only title off hand I can think of is T2, the original was a mpeg 2 and 5.1 dolby, new one is a VC-1 I beleive and audio is uncompressed...

One's I would consider if they get improved are Goodfellas(Need uncompressed audio) and Unforgiven...

I will not double dip just for special features, I will consider it if the audio is
drastically better/or pq is better...

Another one that could use a reissue is Gangs of New York...and Dumb and Dumber, both crap transfers...

Transformers tru hd audio caused me to upgrade from DD+ hd dvd.
I passed on buying Quantum of the Solace after I seen what they did with the collectors edition of Casino Royale. I have all the Harry Potters on hd dvd but the blu ultimate editions are very appealing for a double dip.

so far nothing has been worth double dipping for me-- I won't rebuy a movie just because there are more special features (like Casino Royale).

Terminator movies I deliberately didn't buy at first (along with Stargate) because they were very early releases and didn't get very good reviews.
Since then I bought T2 Skynet and will be picking up the new Stargate
soon without double-dipping

Speed Racer
Hero
House of Flying Daggers
Gangs of NY
Gladiator
Ocean's 13
Sarah Connor's Chronicles Season 1 & 2

WB have ****ed me over way too many times with shitty sound.

fredbalsodn · 11-23-2009, 09:09 PM

Goodfellas for sure.

Why are you waiting for this movie?! Its released 1080p with a LPCM audio soundtrack!!! They have no REAL REASON right now!!! It includes a pretty good amount of supplements!!! Unless your thinking extended cut, and the deleted scences are not really good at all!!! It's Worth buying now and does not need a re-release!! Or wait till, 2016 for The Ten Year Anniversary or if the studio gets ballsy, 2011 for The 5 Year Anniversary!!!

Its worth buying NOW, Gannet!!!

i'm a huge audio nut. so for BDs that do not have lossless audio, i'll double dip no problem. i have a LOT of WB BDs for example that i'm selling cause lossless versions are coming (just like superman returns, 1st release was a lossy track, then a lossless truehd "proper" version).

afaik, fountain, alexander DC, happy feet, enter the dragon will all receiver proper lossless audio tracks =).

I double dip on everything I bought on DVD...haha. But I make sure I don't spend too much on ones I won't watch a lot, and usually buy my Blu-Rays for around $10 or less per.
