If you are trying to replace all those standard definition DVDs with higher def Blu-ray discs, Warner bros. wants to help. Well, at least with their own movies.
Dubbed the DVD2Blu program, you send your old DVDs (sans box) to WB, pay a replacement fee ($7.95 to $9.95) per movie and the company will send you a Blu-ray version of the movie.
There are currently 55 movies on the DVD2Blu list to choose from with more to come and, if you spend more than $25, they waive the shipping cost. That basically means you need to find three or four movies to replace, depending on the replacement cost.
These are primarily older movies but it’s still a pretty nice deal, considering that Blu-ray movies typically start at $19.95. Warner will even send a pre-paid shipping label.
Some of the notable titles include eligible to be traded up include:
Too bad they don’t have VHS2Blu. Warner has done this before with its Red2Blu program was a similar HD DVD-to-Blu-ray trade-in program.
With come companies starting to use “flipper discs” (DVD on one side and Blu-ray on the other), the game industry should take serious note. Gamers like high-def graphics and, especially newer model PS3 owners, would love to be able to trade in some older games for new console and Blu-ray versions. Nintendo might also want to consider some type of similar trade-up program for gamers who are re-buying (and sometimes re-re-buying) already owned games through WiiWare and DSiWare.
