Surprised I hadn't heard about this before... a great way to add a bunch of Blu-Ray titles to your collection super-cheap...

Warner Home Video has re-opened their "DVD2Blu" web offer again, now with more titles to pick from. It's designed to let you trade up some DVDs for Blu-Ray titles.

NOTE: I almost passed this up as it had only one or two titles I still wanted to "upgrade" from DVD to Blu... then I read it more carefully. You can send them any DVD in place of the Blu-ray title you want, not just the same movie on DVD. Send any crap old DVD, documentary, foreign corporate training video, a freebie promotional title you've got laying around... ANYTHING is eligible except adult titles or home videos. That disc and $5 gets you a pristine new copy of any Blu-Ray title on the site!

Here's how it works - browse the 125 titles they offer (lots of crap titles there, but there are some gems too). Pick the ones you want at the amazing prices posted... $5-7 for movies, $10-$18 for TV series. Add 'em to your cart and check out with credit card. They email you a PDF mailing label and then, for each Blu-ray you bought cheap, you send them one DVD (anything) dropped loose into an envelope (keep or toss your case and cover art, you just send the disc itself). Then they ship you the good stuff. Free shipping too if you spent over $35!

Sweet!! I've got some crappy old documentary DVDs and a few duplicate DVDs I'm happy to unload for a some $5 Blu-Ray titles of good movies!

I picked up Risky Business, The Departed, Blood Diamond, L.A. Confidential, The Shining, Training Day, We Are Marshall, Wyatt Earp, Oceans 11, Lost Boys, Last Samurai and Terminator 3 for $5 each!

Check it out - I assure you it's not a scam: www.dvd2blu.com

Interesting. So, they don't need any receipts or anything? You just mail them a movie?
 
Correct... no receipt needed. Doesn't need to be Warner Brothers movie, or even a big-name hollywood movie. anything at all that's a professionally produced DVD that isn't porn.
 
That's great Josh, I just ordered 8!

OK, I confess... I added "Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle" to my order. The DVD version simply just doesn't fully capture the nuances of the groundbreaking cinematography nor the full emotional impact of this coming-of-age classic! :rolleyes:
 
I've read the rules very carefully, and it appears to me that you could send in only a "supplements" or "bonus materials" disc from a multi-disc movie and it would qualify as a trade-in. So if you've decided you probably won't watch that "Turner & Hooch: Behind the Scenes Featurette" disc many more times, then it and $5 gets you a brand new "The Departed" on Blu-Ray! You also can send multiple discs from a TV series, and each DISC sent in qualifies as one trade-in. (Better yet, you can get a full multi-disc SERIES of a TV show on Blu-ray for each single DISC sent in on DVD.)

Oh, and this is probably as good a time as any to remind you that, legally, if you are sending back a DVD of a movie you've imported to your Kaleidescape, you no longer have the right to keep it on your K server. You should delete it from your server to stay in compliance with your user agreement.

that's great Josh - thanks for the heads up, I saw this and just naturally assumed it was WB DVD's. I have plenty of junky ones that I never imported once I started running out of space.
 
Other than the fact that this is going to cost me more money, that is great news. I have loads of old dvds that I have probably never watched and never want to watch including lots of foreign films and film compilations that I purchased or received in my earlier collection days. They are simply taking up space in my DVD storage area right now. This is one of those few times when not throwing away unused and never to be used items actually pays off.

Those are much better terms than when they first ran the program last year. Too bad my interest must have been in the 20 movies that are already sold out. Might just have to hold out on a few series to see if this offer pops up again next year, once they are old enough to qualify.
 
even better news - until I printed out the shipping label they sent me, I didn't realize that Warner even picks up the cost of shipping them your used junky DVDs! you get a postage-paid mail label to attach to the envelope or box containing your DVDs. impressive.
 
I already have the ones I would like to own but its still a worthwhile use of a few minutes to check out what they are offering.
 
I don't normally buy BluRay movies until they have been released for at least six months. Recently I priced 10 films on various internet retailers against my local high street retailer. I was asked if I could wait a couple of weeks.... I could and the high street price bettered the internet price. There are some good deals out there.
