Digital Home Thoughts - News & Reviews for the Digital Home

Thinking about taking advantage of this one. Pretty much any DVD (other than adult titles) qualifies. So, it sound like you could go pick up a bunch of DVD's from the Dollar Store and net out getting a bunch of Blu-Ray discs for about $6 each. But, I'm betting a lot of these titles will probably have a regular price of $9.99 by the end of the year (some already do), so if you are only interested in one or two titles, it may not be worth the effort.

"Upgrade your Warner Bros. DVD titles for new industry-leading Blu-ray discs and unleash the power of your HDTV through the WBshop.com DVD2Blu program. Blu-ray disks as low as $7.95 and free shipping on orders over $25."

I was pretty excited when I first saw this. But then I looked at the details. There are not a huge number of movies offered. Out of my collection, I only had 4 eligible movies (technically 7, but I'd already purchased the Blu-ray disk for the other 3). Of those, most were only a couple buck extra to just buy the Blu-ray directly from Amazon which, given the months I waited to get my disks shipped on the similar Red2Blu program, seems worth it since I'd get to keep the DVD's that way. The last movie, Superman Returns, is technically a good deal since it would cost $23.99 from Amazon, but I already regret purchasing that DVD, so no need to double down on the buyers remorse.
