Considering the fact that you paid how much for the HD DVD and then turned around and sent them $6-15 for the replacement, you were scammed... the HD DVDs would still play perfectly fine and now all of those movies can be bought brand new in package for the amount you paid Warner for them to replace them... Since it was Warner that screwed everyone who bought their HD DVDs they should have replaced them for FREE with the BD version, they chose their side, the same holds true for the DVD trade in, they should replace them for free if they are really that interested in consumer loyalty to the new brand.]]>Dec 22nd 2009 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/
It really comes down to individual perception of value. At the time, it seemed a reasonable value to not have to pay the $17-30 Amazon was charging for the films I wanted to replace. By your comments, it doesn't seem like you would have been compelled to upgrade. To each their own.]]>Dec 23rd 2009 5:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/]]>Dec 12th 2009 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/Dec 12th 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/
Until then, there are just too many devices that can use DVDs as opposed to Blu-Ray.]]>Dec 12th 2009 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/
The Disney $8 off retail deal doesn't make much sense to me. I can do better off of Amazon with the right deal.]]>Dec 12th 2009 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/Dec 12th 2009 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/Dec 12th 2009 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/
I purchased Lucky Number Slevin on Amazon for $7.99. I could have done a Red2Blu, but it would have cost more!

Amazon blows away the $8.00 off of Disney titles (and has free shipping and no tax in CA). There is absolutely no reason to participate when it's less to re-purchase.

That said, I appreciate the studios doing this.

Its a lot of effort to bother, and the last free movies deal with BD player purchase I got screwed on. So, it isn't really worth my time and effort.]]>Dec 13th 2009 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/Dec 14th 2009 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/
It's all physical media...gotta store it somewhere!]]>Dec 14th 2009 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/poll-do-you-plan-on-participating-in-a-dvd-to-blu-ray-trade-in/Dec 16th 2009 10:29AM
