Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
Edit: Just read through the rules, and you are given a postage paid printout, so obviously, I can't use that if I am sending from Canada. Maybe I'll have to send the covers to my friend in the US and ask them to do it. From those Canucks that are trying to use this program, is this what your plans are as well?
edit: someone on AVS said that they aren't expanding to Canada, but that was from talking to the US customer service - we need to get Warner Canada on the line and get a DIRECT answer - NOW

I can't find any contact information on WB Canada. It would be worth at least an email if I could find an address.

All they want for the Complete Matrix set now is the cover art to the Matrix Revolutions.
And, technically, they still have a listing for the matrix digi-book so people that want both can submit the cover art for the first film and the third film and get to own both the fancy Digi-book and the Complete set. I'm thinking about doing this, along with ordering the Harry Potter films and Batman Begins. This may be what pushed me over the edge into placing an order.

Willy Wonka is the only WB title left for replacement as of now for me, hopefully they release it by the end of the year (will suck about paying for shipping for it).

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
Just got an email... Apparently providing all 4 covers from the films in the Best Of HD-DVD boxset as well as a receipt showing proof of buying said boxset is not enough information to authorize an exchange.

Sorry. I was talking about the Best of Boxsets. I'll go back and edit my original post.
As for the matrix box set, all you have to do is send in the revolutions cover art or, i assume still, the back paper sheet.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
Okay, thanks. That was my main concern, on what to send from the Matrix set. I have the Matrix Trilogy, not Ultimate edition. The site instructions had mentioned to send the back paper sheet, that has the UPC for the Ultimate Edition. I actually have the back paper sheet, I just didn't know if I should send that in, or just say i lost it to try and make them think I had the Ultimate edition set.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
How much are they charging to upgrade to the Ultimate Matrix Blu-ray? I already upgraded my HD DVD set myself with the last Amazon.ca deal on the set, but I was just wondering, for comparison purposes ...

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
I also realized that if they do bring it to Canada, I won't be able to upgrade my Planet Earth HD DVD (that is Warner, right?), as mine (which cost me $12.50) came with a cover that said Blu-ray. Only reason why I didn't exchange it for a copy with an accurate cover is because I was wishfully hoping that they had also mistakenly packaged BD discs within

I "ordered" the Matrix: UE and HP5 (to get rid of my combo disc) for a total of $33. Not bad. I'm particularly excited about the Matrix set. Animatrix in 1080p!

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
Man this is really tempting. Upgrading stuff like my Sopranos sets and That's Entertainment is just too hard to resist. Guess I go through my stuff today. I'm just wondering what the Casablanca replacements will be. I'm assuming just disc one fo the new set?
Also, I guess they are only sending us discs back and we use our old HD DVD cases or is that wrong?

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
That is cool, but still makes me wonder about Casablanca. If I am getting the new Ultimate Edition for $5 that is freaking amazing. I am putting together my list now. For sure I'm including both Sopranos sets, Casablanca, Adventures of Robin Hood and the That's Entertainment and Oceans box sets. I'm skipping anything that is a downgrade though. Don't want to lose TrueHD or the In Movie experience just to get a BD.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
I ended up only doing 4 things to test the waters. I swapped out a large number of my Warner's for Blu-ray before the death of HD DVD when resale of the them was good so most of my remaining discs are just stuff I picked up super cheap or isn't on BD. I was temped on stuff like V for Vendeta and Batman Begins that are identical on both formats, but put them off for now. Since we have the whole year to swap out 25 I figure I have time to decide.
I ended up just upgrading Sopranos 6.1 and 6.2, Casablanca and Superman Returns. Hopefully they ship the TrueHD version of the BD for Superman, but either way it will be nice to dump the combo that loved to freeze during the airplane rescue.
