interesting.

Shipping is $6.95 per order. Hopefully that's not per disc.

The only title I really want to move to bluray with is Batman Begins, but with shipping being that high, I think I'll just stick with where I'm at. Freddy

I don't know, it seems barely worth it to me. It's $5 a title, plus $7 flat shipped. I guess it's ok for people who are dumping their collections, as you could print out custom cover art and still sell the hd's...

That's funny, that was my thought exactly - I'd do it for Batman, but it's not really worth it at that price.

It looks to be a really good deal and you get to keep your disks. Cover art doesn't seem to be too hard to find and if you have a decent printer you're back in business cometically for a nominal fee. I'm really hoping Universal follows suit since the majority of of Hd Dvds are Universal. Universal disks in my case have playing problems with lockups or the 408bc504 error, so I would gladly jump on a tradein program for those as well.

hmm, damn. I just bought Batman Begins HD DVD from a seller on HDD without cover art! Just my luck lol

Are you kidding me, you can get the Harry Potter Box set replaced for 14.99 and Planet Earth for 10. Then resell them. This is a no-brainer.

Only problem with the HP set is that they apparently want you to send in the case for the first movie, which would make your HD DVD set incomplete.

Interesting... I'm not sure this is the end result Warner was looking for.

[DCSholtis]

Thanks but no thanks. I'm keeping my HD DVDs.

This same topic is now being discussed in 3 different threads (maybe more?) in the HDD forums.

Maybe a moderator should combine them all ??? Just a thought.

I believe the HD-DVD set has similar cases.
I don't own either, I found this photo via Google.

I'm wondering if the replacement for 300 will be the newer double dip with all the HD-DVD features such as picture-in-picture, or if they are unloading leftovers from the first release that came out before the current Blu-ray hardware profile was capable of it.

I only decided to keep my HD DVD's because I upgraded to Toshiba's HD-XA2 (from HD-A1)

If I didn't I would probably take this offer.
