Or you can just buy the individual films you want once and have done. That's
the whole point.
But thou must!

Several people are still saying they are being forced to repurchase games
they already own. So, let me break this down into an example that may help
with those missing the point.
There are 8 Harry Potter films. If we say the average price of these eon DVD
is $20, for the sake of argument, the total cost of buying each film
individually would be $160.
You've already bought films 1 and 2 on DVD for $40. But now, Warner Brothers
is offering a box set of all 8 films on DVD for the unbelievable price of
$40! That's 1/4 the cost. And let's say, you didn't like Prisoner of
Azkaban, so never really planned on buying that one.
You can buy the box set, and still come out $60 ahead, or you can be upset
because you're being made to re-purchase
the first two movies again, plus movie 3 that you didn't like.
The math is: 8 movies for $20 each is $160
Minus movie three would be $140 total for seven films you want.
Or…
$40 for the two you already bought
plus $40 for the box set.
equals $80
$80 is $60 less than $140. Win win.
The math is almost identical in this case, except I think Justin's deal is
actually better than the scenario above.
To me, if you're not paying anywhere near full price for anything, you're
effectively getting the majority of the package for free. So you are not, in
reality, being made to buy them again.
