WB Expands DVD to Blu-ray Upgrade Program

[sabot00]

Avatar's not on there? Looks to me like that would be one of the main selling ones.

do they exchange the dvds for new blu-ray or used BD discs ?

[citation][nom]gto127[/nom]Sounds like a good deal unless you have a spare HDDVD player around. You get BR quality for about $2.00 per disc online for almost all WB titles.[/citation]

$4.95 each at red2blu.com to trade the cover art from your WB HD-DVDs for BR movies. You can get most of the HD-DVD discs for less than DVDs.
Those of us who bought HD-DVD players after Toshiba dropped the format have enjoyed many cheap movies over the last couple of years.

[citation][nom]elbert[/nom]I only have troy on DVD so its not worth the cost of a blu-ray player. Maybe in the future they will expand this to include VHS and by then I may have a blu-ray player. I have Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Beetlejuice, The Fugitive, The Mask, and Eraser on VHS.[/citation]
Where have you been for the last 10 years? I didnt know that people still had VHS'.

I've been fighting this battle with my girl having dozens of VHS movies she never watches. This trade up helps with some DVD versions I would have otherwise not upgraded. The incentives to upgrade to DVD or Bluray from VHS are already big enough that they don't need to lure us into it usually.

I'm guessing that most people who bought that already have it on bluray, if they wanted it. The dvd+bluray combo was only $24, so no reason not to buy that when it came out.

Avatar came out a couple weeks ago, why would you buy it on DVD if you have Bluray? To boot I think it's also available in a combo-pack so you would get both.

58 Get Smart (Blu-Ray) $4.95

So I can ship a Get Smart Blu-Ray disk with $4.95, and in about a month they'll ship me back Get Smart on Blu Ray? Sounds like an incredible deal. I own maybe 20 of those movies, but I really don't see much benefit to upgrading to Blu Ray for most of them. Blazing Saddles in Blu-Ray? I never really watched that movie for the quality camera work.

This is ridiculous. Blue Ray is too expensive. No one is adopting it and on demand will render it obsolete. /end sarcasm

If you like any on the list, just go to your local pawn shop and you can buy used DVDs for $2.00. The $2.00 from the pawn shop and $4.95 for them is still cheaper that buying the BD new elsewhere. I have more than half on the list, but you are limited to 25 per household, so I'll have to pick which I would really want in Blu.
