Same for me. I also own an A35 as a backup to my venerable A1.

I am still picking up HD DVDs at <$5 when I see titles of interest, although I am planning on listing some in the trade/sale thread that I only wanted to watch once.

Unlike some others with OCD, I don't mind having five Harry Potter titles in red cases and the last three in blue.

I wonder if the BDs Warner sends are marked? It might be possible to sell the BDs at a nice profit.

I wonder if I can send my covers in from Canada, and have the replacements sent to someone in the US? I should be able to. If not, I am only out some covers, so not a big deal.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

Is it really OCD to want to have all the movies together on the same shelf? Maybe, I don't know I'm not a doctor.

What I do know is that I haven't played an HD-DVD in months and would rather have titles that I will watch multiple times on a current format. If my order goes smoothly, I might go back and do a few more (matrix, superman and others...)

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

I think this is really cool and will definitely be taking advantage of it soon.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

For The Matrix: Ultimate Collection it says to send in the pice of paper on the back of the box? I throw that kind of shit out. Am I S.O.L. in that case? I really want to upgrade that set.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

Looks like I might end up hitting up a Fry's or something. I doubt I'll score any substantial deals this way, but I might save myself some money in a few cases.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

I like this program. I'm glad I never re-bought any Blu-rays.

Wait a second... They don't even want the discs? Just the cover art?

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

Outstanding news! I'm in for the max 25 upgrades, that'll leave me less than 5 Warner HD DVDs. :thumbsup:

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

Might have to do this. I only have a total of 9 HD DVD's (I got into the format like a month before it was announced as dead) and 6 of them are Warner titles.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

Figure this - Most Warner HD DVD's at Frys run between $6.99 - $9.99. Then add in $4.95 to "upgrade to Blu". The cheapest you will get a "Blu" replaced is $12. Is all that hassle worth it? For me, I might do the HP giftset for $15 (only requires 1 digibook inside the case), Planet Earth (It has a slip cover so I dont see the spine anyway).

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

I'm looking at about $300 to replace the WB portion of my collection.

Big Pass for me.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

I packed up all my movies for an impending move...but I'd say I have 85% of all Warner HD DVDs produced. Pretty sure that's around 100 or so...gulp.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

Am I just not finding Terminator 3 on their site?

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

This makes sense for Casablanca and Matrix (since the Animatrix is HD on Blu-ray but SD on HD DVD). Any other true upgrades instead of mere replacements?

Also, I seriously hope I kept the slip from the Matrix set. Probably didn't. Actually, if I didn't keep the slip, I could just send in the box cover, right? It must have a UPC code on it. Each disc is in its own case, anyway. Looking at the site, it specifically mentions the paper slip. I might email them to ask about the box cover.

Edit: I'm also considering upgrading my Kubrick discs, just because.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

Too bad the 300 Disk that came with the A3 doesn't have a UPC code on it. I'd like to upgrade that one. I think I'll be in for about 10 titles on this deal.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

It's not listed. No one knows why yet.

Casablanca HD will get you the BD equivilant...just not in the fancy box. Apparently Warner is pressing 'normal' Blu-ray versions for this upgrade. No idea if it will include the new bonus features or not.

You need the paper back-slip thing for the Ultimate (Combo) Matrix set. The Complete one won't work :(

There are only a few 'big' upgrades IMO and that would The Perfect Storm (new 1080p encode), Terminator 3 (for the PiP) and the Matrix set. Everything else would either be minor improvements in PQ or a downgrade in audio (losing TrueHD tracks on the HD for DD on some BDs).

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

Don't worry. You can only do a max of 25 anyway.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

Per household. I have lots of friends and family I could use...if I want to ;)

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

I'm going to pass on this. My HD DVD and BD players are hooked up to the same TV.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

I was wondering this too - but wouldn't you also be out the $5 per title they're going to charge you (do we know if they charge BEFORE or after they send your shit...)

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

That's cool.

When you add Casablanca to your cart it comes up Ultimate Collector's Edition. That would be really awesome if that's true.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

It's not the big box version though. Someone on HDD called adn Warner said it was the film in a normal BD case. Unknown if the new special features will be included though (were they on one disc for the Blu-ray?).

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

So can anyone list which titles got an additional bonus features in the switch to BD? I'd likely upgrade those (didn't Batman Begins or Christmas Story get something extra? can't remember), as well as upgrading my Matrix set. Although, I don't have that paper slip either, so I hope stuffing the box in will suffice.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

I may hold that one back. I want the big package one.

Re: Warner launches "Red2Blu" trade-in program
 

Just wondering, has anyone gotten an E-mail confirmation on their order yet?
