You want studios to stop re-releasing their movies in new editions (often better editions) because you personally cannot afford to keep buying them? Wouldn't the most sensible idea be simply not to buy them? I haven't noticed Disney or Warners or Sony coming to people's houses and holding guns to their heads.
I see reissues as good because if the picture and sound are improved enough on a film I already own, I might be tempted to get it again. And if it's a film I like but don't already own, then I'm doubly tempted to buy.
But, yeah, a person does need to use a little self-restraint, while giving other people the free right to do whatever they please.

View profile »I own over 1,200 DVDs. I've perhaps replaced at most 25 on HD DVD/Blu-ray and only because these were GREAT movies that I can watch more than once. Even fewer have I double-dipped on DVD before only. This is a choice, and no one points a gun to your head. I'll replace more of the great ones... looking forward to Ghost Busters, Carrie, Young Frankenstein, Poltergeist, The Shawshank Redemption, etc. coming up. But even that is just 5 more replacements over the next few months. Not a big deal!

You can rent movies (online is the best option) in low monthly-fee plans, starting at around for $8.99 (for unlimited rentals each month - 1 disc out at a time), or other monthly-fee plans for 2, 3, or 4 discs out at a time.
So... don't want to keep buying? Save your money for buying just certain must-have titles, and RENT THE REST.

However, we have already seen blu-ray re-releases! Casino Royale is the first example...shame...
As for me, only few double-dips. Apocalypse Now Redux and the Complete Dossier. Monsters, Inc. R1 and R4 (for the Spanish audio). Blade Runner and the 2-disc edition (for the special features). Unintentionally Die Another Day by buying the Ultimate Boxset. The last one being Hellboy DC (I just needed to have it
I already stopped having impulse buys on Tuesdays...except for Wal-Mart's $5 bin...
