I thought I might upgrade Final Destination but a quick glance at amazon shows a cost of $10. :lol:

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

Not for under $25.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

Oh brilliant/

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

I like the idea, but there's only one title on that list that I haven't already upgraded. WB really needs to add more titles.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

Got my order today. The envelope wasn't sealed properly, so out of the seven discs that I traded in for, only one was in the envelope.

The envelope looks like it was run over by a truck, so I'm not holding out too much hope for this one disc either.

Hopefully customer service will come through soon. I have a feeling they are on holiday.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

Just placed an order and sent the discs off today for the following five titles:

- Christmas Vacation
- Dumb and Dumber
- Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle
- History of Violence
- Wedding Singer

Total came out to $40 (no shipping costs or tax, yay). $20 less than Amazon's current asking price for those specific BDs. Let us see how long it'll take to get the BDs. Really wish Warner added more to the line-up to choose from (along with adding new catalog titles once they street).

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

So $7.95 titles are now $4.95, and $9.95 titles are now $6.95. I was considering this, but I didn't know you had to mail in your DVDs also. That makes me a little more lukewarm towards this, even though it seems like a good deal.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

They're still showing as $7.95 & $9.95 for me.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

They'll change to the lower price when you view your cart.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

Is it just me or has the selection shrunk dramatically? I seem to recall almost double the amount they have there now.

It's showing $5 now.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention that.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

went ahead and placed an order for 8 of them...now the waiting begins.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

They've now changed the posted prices and added a bunch of titles, some of which I've already upgraded on my own or gotten rid of the DVDs of. :(

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

I hope WB properly recycles the DVDs they receive.
In Canada, HMV is offering $5 discount on many Blu's if people bring in the same titles on DVD.
Most of the DVDs I've upgraded I like to keep around for the extras (especially trailers) which weren't brought over, plus their playability in more locations.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

I can do 11 titles, including a couple I REALLY wanted to upgrade for $60. I'll definitely get on this.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

I thought about doing it, but I only have 3 left on the list that I'm concerned with upgrading. I could do a couple others if I really cared to, but I hate to dump decent discs. I could potentially grab extra copies of some that I already upgraded just to sell, but that's not really worth doing. Did those of you sending movies with 2 disc editions send them both or just the movie disc?

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

to me for what they are offering, you would be better off selling the dvds yourself and picking up the blu in the store.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

Certainly you should check what the current value is on any particular disc, but in my experience most DVDs are worth very little, many in the $2 to $3 range, sometimes less, sometimes more. Only Criterions hold their value. So this can be a good deal at $5.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

Exactly. If you can find enough to get you over the $35 free shipping threshold, you'll typically make out much better than selling individual discs on eBay or Amazon Marketplace or selling in bulk (Spun.com, Newtown, etc.)--especially for older titles. Sure, you can say, "It's on Amazon for $10!" However, if you can get the same disc for $4.95 through DVD2Blu, you'll likely make out better.

I could only find 4 that I wanted or haven't yet upgraded--ones that I wasn't going to bother upgrading. However, with a few more from my significant other in the mix, it puts it over $35 by $1.65. Definitely will get in on this.

• Christmas Story, A (hers)
• Deliverance (hers)
• Dirty Dozen, The (hers)
• Final Destination: Wasn't going to upgrade, but can't beat the price.
• Fugitive, The: Reviews on PQ are mixed, but price is right.
• History of Violence, A: Wasn't going to bother 'cause I bought the DVD cheap used ($1.50, I think), but why not?
• Wedding Singer, The: Totally Awesome Edition: Was on my "PASS" list, but (again) the price can't be beat.

(Kind of amusing that she owns a couple of pretty manly flicks and I own The Wedding Singer. I've never even seen The Dirty Dozen!)

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

I'm waiting for the DVD + BLU trade-in program. Where you send in your UPC of a goddamn DVD case which housed a DVD and a Blu-ray (due to WB's amazing intellectual design) so WB can send me a friggin' 2-Disc Blu-ray case at no charge.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

Good idea - it would let us keep our DVDs which have all the features.
I don't think Warner really needs our DVDs - they will probably be disposed of.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

Does anyone know if you have to trade in the version pictured? I have Full Metal Jacket from the Kubrick Collection, will they accept that? Also, do you just keep the second disk if it's a two disk set eg. Eyes Wide Shut?

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

answers to both these questions can be found on the website.

Re: Warner's new DVD2BLU program begins
 

I do not know if this is the right place to ask this kind of question, but I'm hoping that other users here can help. I placed my order through dvd2blu about a week ago. I did receive a "welcome" email about 24 hours after placing the order, but so far no email with the mailing label, or authorization for the amount off of my credit card. I have placed two messages in their "contact" are, and no response. Has anyone else had a delay in getting their order processed?
