Last week’s survey was about when you last rented a movie (whether on videotape or on DVD) so I thought this week I’d go with a similar theme and ask about your habits with buying DVDs, specifically when it comes to rebuying a film on DVD which you already own on videotape.
Have you gone out and bought most of your video collection again on DVD? Have you bought a few select favourites or none at all, and still watch your old tapes? Vote below with what you consider to be the most appropriate answer.
And if you’re keeping up with technology, have you rebought a film on Blu-ray (or download) which you previously rebought on DVD which was in turn a repurchase of an old videotape? 
Approximately how many of your old pre-recorded videos would you say you've rebought on DVD?

I think I’ve bought pretty much all of them on DVD but I refuse to buy blu-rays! I don’t still have my video recorder hooked up although that and the tapes are hidden away in a cupboard.

Oh lord. Can I have the following taken into account:
Every original Doctor Who Story
First 3 series of the Simpsons
Babylon 5
Star Trek – TNG & Movies
Inspector Morse
Blackadder
Star Wars Films
maybe a dozen other films…..
In addition I’ve had the Italian Job on VHS, DVD & BD plus the X-Men, Matrix & The Prisoner on DVD & BD

On the subject of buying stuff again:
Chief: you’ve got the Ghostbusters BD. Has it got the animated figures on the commentary like the DVD ?

I recently bought one of those combo jobs with a VCR and DVD recorder so that I could still watch VHS if I wanted to, though I can’t remember when I actually last watched a videotape.
Didn’t realise the Prisoner was out on Blu-ray. Did you see the recent ITV reimagining? Better than it had any right to be, and I even spotted a penny farthing at one point!
As to the Ghostbusters MST3K commentary, I’ll have to check…

No – didn’t see the Prisoner. Get the BD of the old stuff, it’s jaw dropping what they’ve done to it.
