There are some media swapping websites where you can post them.

Even with you swallowing the shipping costs, I don't think you will do better than gizmo's offer. But if you have the time and patience, you can try! Good luck! :)

How about Skeet Surfin'? Never tried it but it sure looks like fun!

At this stage I can't see why people would toss out their HD DVDs and replace them with Blu-ray. I have about 300 HDDVDs and they still play fine, except for about 3 or 4 Warner titles.

By the time my HD DVD players break down there will probably be a 4K version I'll want more or the Blu-ray will cost a buck. Why spend $5-$15 each replacing them with the same transfer on Blu-ray?

Shipping 100 titles from Canada would easilly leave him PAYING to unload them, even though he would "get" $80, it would cost $100 or more to ship them! Have you any idea how ridiculously expensive Canada to US shipping is? It's something like $1 per 15 grams.

Seriously, just keep them as backups, and if you're really adventurous, rip them and burn your own BD-Rs of the ones you don't own on Blu yet. It isn't worth the perhaps $0.50 per title.

I've still got around 50 titles myself. Sold many to Amazon back a couple of years ago, and actually got decent prices then, $7 to $10 each for most titles. But, I still am holding onto my XA2...

What Snake said - the HD-DVD of 'The Thing' is still the best version available. I think there are at least a couple more.

Re: HD DVD, or: How do I learn to let go?
 

I'm keeping all my HD DVD, unless any go rare and I can sell them at a good price. Those Red cases look good on the shelf too. I even searched around to finish my collection with The Bonnie and Clyde HD DVD Digibook and P2 amongst others on the cheap.

Re: HD DVD, or: How do I learn to let go?
 

+2.

I have the The Terminator 2 on HD DVD. It was a German release steelbook, and looks fantastic on my Toshiba HD DVD player (XA2). I few other rare ones I think, and won't be giving them up anytime soon.

And I don't like re-buying titles, especially when I have around 300 of them.

Re: HD DVD, or: How do I learn to let go?
 

I also have that German T2 steel box, which is actually the best looking version on the market.

Re: HD DVD, or: How do I learn to let go?
 

Keeping all 69 of my HD-DVDs as well. HD-DVDs still has a special place in my <3.

Re: HD DVD, or: How do I learn to let go?
 

They really screwed the pooch on the BR release of Apollo 13 as well. DNR'd it to death. HD version is much better. It seems they are worthless to everyone but you. Throw them out or donate them.

Re: HD DVD, or: How do I learn to let go?
 

I still have a large number of HD-DVDs as well and even a few laserdiscs. They are worth having around to me. What is shocking to me isn't that HD-DVD has no resale value. It's the fact my regular DVDs and most of my Blu-rays are equally as worthless if I tried to sell them. Interest in physical media really fell off the map.

Re: HD DVD, or: How do I learn to let go?
 

Many people bailed on HD DVD right away getting premium prices for their collection. However at the time the BR were also going for a premium. I noticed the prices dropping so fast, I figured even if the HD DVD were worthless, most of the BR would be <$10 anyway. I figure it ends up being a wash. The HD DVD doesn't take any more room on the shelf than the BR version would. Of the few I double dipped on, I just got a double BR case for both of them. Other than the extra player in the entertainment center, there is no space issue. Even the wife can figure out which discs go in which player and what buttons on the universal remote to hit.

Re: HD DVD, or: How do I learn to let go?
 

I still have quite a few Criterion LD's, too. We'll never see some of those ported over to BD due to rights issues.

Re: HD DVD, or: How do I learn to let go?
 

I still have an A1 and an A35. I have 88 discs, although 3 or 4 of them I've double dipped on for Blu-ray (Adventures of Robin Hood, Zodiac, Shaun of the Dead come to mind). I see no reason to get rid of them.

Re: HD DVD, or: How do I learn to let go?
 

I got the subliminal message in there ;)

Re: HD DVD, or: How do I learn to let go?
 

I still have my A-35 and though it is not used as much I still do and still have most of the HD-DVD's I bought..A few have gotten dry rot such as, Kiss Kiss Bang and I rebought it on Blu-ray. Otheriwse I will keep playing them until they all die out..
