Website is not working for me. Anyone else having problems?

pjflyer

Curious about this myself.

Roybq

Working for me right now. Holy heck, I just added 25 blu rays to my collection!

Artman

Meh, nothing's catching my eye...

PopcornTreeCt

That's an interesting change, accepting any kind of DVDs but what is the point? Why not just sell the Blu-rays flat out? I really have gotten everything I wanted... a lot of you are talking about your crap DVDs... well my Warner DVDs were my crap DVDs. Anyway, interesting new policy but really doesn't change anything for me.

SterlingBen

Wait, what? I can go buy a $1 pd dvd and get $5 blu rays? Really?

Really?

Am I just tired and reading wrong?

AmityBoatTours

but when you factor in the 3 dollars you would spend for a dvd from big lots along with the 5 dollars your pretty much spending what a lot of these movies go for from amazon anyways.
Now if you allready had a bunch .99cent store or biglots purchased dvds then yeah this is a great deal but if you dont allready it doesnt really make sense to go out and buy 3 dollar dvds to get a 5 dollar bluray

animefan

Yeah, but most of those $5 Blu-ray has been on sale for about $8 on Amazon before. And probably will be at those prices come Holidays like last year. So if you are willing to go through all the trouble of buying the $1 DVD, sending it out and wait for a month to receive the blu-ray for saving of $2 or so, make sure you are doing it for the titles that you were planning to buy it anyway.

I learned my mistake with DVD that no matter how cheap they are, I'm still going to regret it later if the movie sucks (and with over 2000 DVDs, I haven't learned it quick enough - it's really a hassle to sell those right now ).

I am going to take advantage of this deal, but only for the movies that I would enjoy watching more than once. These days, I would rather buy 2 movies that are great than buying 8 movies that I wouldn't watch more than once. Because that $6 does add up to lot of money - and lot of shelf space.

JimRochester

Yes no matter how many times I click on it, there are no more titles I want to pick up.

wahlers

I wonder if they will accept Digital Copy discs?

SterlingBen

Sounds like a plan, I could use some extra DVD cases so I can throw out those echo cases whenever I accidentally get them.

Kmical

I can't seem to find any restriction on the condition (rather than the content) of discs to be traded in. I have a number of children's titles (Thomas the Tank Engine, the Wiggles, etc) that are scratched up enough that they no longer play well.

I wonder if these would be eligible based upon the terms of the deal?

bigjim25

If Dollar Tree doesn't have any like mine, try Big Lots. Mine still has the 3 packs for $3.

masetodd

So has anyone successfully submitted their Bonus Features Disc and had it approved? What is a DVD I sent is not approved? Do they cancel my order - or wait for me to send another one?

s0me0nesmind1

bump for interest! I would much rather get rid of stupid bonus discs than the actual movies.

Supermallet

I just sent in about 15 bonus discs, so we'll see what happens. They're all from major studios.

mythmaker18

Exactly. I started to fill up a shopping cart with about five titles, but once you add the--what seems to be a bit high--shipping fees (and no place on the order page to enter any sort of coupon codes, such as the free shipping ones), I decided to pass.

Even if I picked up a few pawn shop dollar discs, the titles I was interested in would go up to about $8 or so each, and I'm sure these titles can be had for that (or even less) secondhand (and if a disc isn't scratched, I don't mind buying secondhand), so I just decided to pass.

If they ever expand this to include free shipping (along with 'trade any disc'), then I might get on board.

s0me0nesmind1

update?

mattysemo247

I checked the shipping confirmation and they received my order on Friday. But no e mail confirmation yet. Anyone else?

onebyone

Same here.

The first time I swapped some with them I never got an email confirmation for anything but the order went through fine.

Crow331

Wow, what a deal! My dvd player died a few months back so it made sense to finally get a blu-ray player but I told myself I wasn't going to upgrade my dvd collection and only buy blu-rays from now on. This plan changes my mind and I can get some titles I meant to buy on dvd but never did, like Constantine. Also I have 2 copies of Dark City, so I'll trade that in and a few "blind buys" that sucked that I'll trade in as well. Nice!

I like the idea of trading in the "extras" discs so if that works for someone, let us know!

Kal-El

Just sent in 8. I didn't even think I had that many to trade in.

Crow331

These are my upgrades/additions. Is there anything I should know about any of these i.e. bad transfers, barebones?

Christmas Story, A $6.95
Dark City: Director's Cut $4.95
Constantine $4.95
L.A. Confidential $6.95
Mask, The $4.95
Risky Business Deluxe Edition $4.95
Shining, The: Special Edition $4.95
True Romance $4.95

EDIT:

Saw this little tidbit in the terms:

"please note: The Blu-ray version may have different special features and/or bonus material than contained on the DVD version of the Participating Title, including much less or no special features and/or bonus material, and/or the Blu-ray version may have a different aspect ratio (e.g., may be full screen instead of wide screen or vice versa)"

Has anyone gotten screwed and been sent a FOOLSCREEN version of any of the above titles??

doctorthodt

Uh, no. There's no such thing as a fullscreen version of any of those movies on Blu-Ray. It's just a standard disclaimer that Blu-Rays are different from DVD's.

Deftones

Anyone successfully send in an HD-DVD in this round? I have a tomb raider HD-DVD that would be perfect for this.
