Warner Brothers' deal to upgrade your DVD's to Blu-Ray

[Chris D]

Warner Brothers is really starting to impress me. Many of you may remember their "Red 2 Blue" deal they offered after HD-DVD died, where you could trade in your HD-DVD WB movies for BD versions, super cheap. Well, they just announced a new program, where you can upgrade selected WB DVD's of yours to Blu-Ray for as little at $7.95. Been holding out on re-purchasing "2001: A Space Odyssey" on BD? Didn't want to pay $30 to re-buy "The Aviator" on BD, if you already had it on DVD? Well now you can, for as little ast $7.95 each, free shipping over $25.

It's not perfect, but it's certainly more than any of the others studios have done. Too bad the selection isn't just a bit bigger. I might do it for 3-4 titles, particularly "Dark City", which I think every film aficianado needs to study as a modern movie influence. I'm hoping that it's not a problem that my DVD isn't the "Director's Cut".

Other than that, maybe Blazing Saddles, Christmas Vacation, (my favorite of the Lampoon Vacations) a Christmas Story. Other than that, I either already bought in on BD to begin with, skipping DVD, or it's not even worth $8 to do the upgrade. (i.e. American History X)

Every title on the list that is available to upgrade that I have, I've already upgraded (albeit a few to HD DVD--and for half or less than what WB is asking here). A good programme for others, but too late for me.

Yeah, the titles on that list that I wanted to upgrade I have already done so, too. Still, it is a good move on Warner's part.

I'm in the same boat. I've gone the HD-DVD route on most. However, "Dark City" is one that I have yet to upgade that I could. I (like Chris) think it will become "required reading" so-to-speak of filming.

To take the opposing viewpoint, most of those are titles that are selling many places for $10-13, and they probably over-produced. So I wouldn't give them too much credit. Not none either, though.

Also, too late for me. So I am probably just bitter.

Yeah, some of them I got off Amazon for ~$10 or so free shipping. By the time you ship them the movies, you pretty much paid that anyways. Though, not all of them are going to be that cheap.

I was just going to say alot of these are on bestbuy.com right now for $7.99-$12.99
