I could jsut keep my $5 and watch the HD-DVD's that I have on my HD-DVD player. Seriously why in the world would I want to pay to get rid of a perfectly fine disc just to get the same thing back but in a blue box instead. Silly.

Why is this only in the Playstation stiq? I would assume most of us got Blu-Ray from the get go

I was also wondering if they could also replace my HD-DVD player to Blueray player for $4.95.

Never Watch it again?? I'm sure some people still have their HD-DVD players/add-ons. Makes me want to look on eBay for "The Lord of The Rings" Trilogy on HDDVD and see how much it is...lol

Is this only for Warner Bro. movies? Because I have an unopened Transformers collectors HD-DVD that someone got me for Christmas.

I haven't checked prices, but I wonder if getting the HD-DVD and sending it in for the Blu-Ray would turn out to be cheaper in most cases.

Better than nothing I suppose

Wow.
If I didn't pay $5/each for my HD DVDs, I might go for this. But seeing as WB was clearing out EVERYTHING through places like WM, I don't think I can justify it without there being an upgrade to the BluRay.
But very, very cool of WB to do.

very good idea for a service. I'm surprised it'd make any money though, isn't the royalty for blu ray larger than that?
I do find it ironic that it's an "upgrade" to Blu ray - make's me laugh at all the old arguments I've had with people about whether they are equal or not.

Don't think I'll bother paying over the top prices for what is basically a HD DVD in the first place, think I'll just download the movie of my choice to my own disc like the rest of the world

Is there a Canadian site for this. I have a bunch of Warner HD-DVD I wanna trade but it's American only at the check out.

not a bad deal

Serves you right! HD-DVD adoptors.

Pretty cool thing for Warner to do, especially since they basically ended the format war. It'd cost me $128 bucks to replace all of mine, so I don't think I'll actually do all of them. It'll be great to replace all of those terribly broken combo discs though.

I love that movie!

Correct me if im wrong, but I read this elsewhere already, and I believe the offer is to send in the cover-slip of the HD-DVD, rather than the disk itself. As such, you would end up with both a HD-DVD and Blu-ray copy of the title, which i guess has its uses... perhaps
