It is entirely up to J6P if he wants to repurchase a title he may already have when it is reissued on hi def. No one is forced to.

I personally have not been buying any SD DVDs for any new titles. The picture and sound quality are just that much better on Blue Ray versus what player I have for SD DVD.

Studios are already making a bundle on those with DVD - Jack G 06:19:25 12/13/07 (4)
They want us to double/triple/quadruple etc dip and spend even more money on the same titles.

  Like Spidey 3 for instance. I didn't already have nor did I buy the SD DVD, I bought the BD. How is that double dipping???
  
  I see lots and lots of EXCUSES on this forum why folks aren't buying in to a format they are interested in. Now I'm not saying there aren't valid reasons but all I keep reading are excuses more than anything else.
- you have a free choice, if you do not like the price, then do not buy ! - Ole Lund Christensen 11:13:12 12/13/07 (2)
  It is rather silly of you to complain about how the market economy works.
  Even communist China accept market economy.
  
  It is classic to start with a high price, skimming the market, and then later lower the price.
  
  Anyway, you select only to buy the new titles.

    By so much, that I'm wondering who's post you actually read.
    They aren't giving us the new formats out of the goodness of their hearts, they are doing it to make more money. They are already making money on new releases with DVD, HD isn't adding to that significantly. Its the catalog titles that they'll make alot on (in theory).Since they have long since been paid up, so any new sales of them is (almost) free money. That's not a complaint, just an observation. You can only make so many "special limited" editions.

      To some people HD is adding enough to buy again, to you it is not.
      
      Please stop asuming everybody thinks like you.
      
      Even paid up movies can bring in more money now, and later the price can be reduced to your level.
