I think you'll agree that those who want the best and / or the latest will find themselves upgrading the most, or near-duplicating their purchases in order to fulfill this desire. With consumer behaviour like this, the market isn't likely to accommodate those who are looking for one-stop shopping. Take Mr. Deflok, for example. Clearly a case of a guy who loves the medium, and who isn't afraid to own more than one copy to get what he wants. Should the consumer decide that the ridiculousness of adding 45 seconds of footage and having that constitute a new "version", I'm sure the industry will adapt. Also, Mattel will stop making Barbie in all her new, improved, and obviously redundant kicky gear.

I agree to a point. Touchstone did a rebate last year for the 2 disc set of Who Framed Roger Rabbit for those who already bought the first disc. The rebate required you take one of the insert chits and submit that for US$5 rebate off the new SE version.
I think it was more or less a test to see just how many people actually were upgrading and completists.
