Warner Home Video has massively improved its DVD2Blu program, which previously allowed owners of Warner DVDs to trade them in for their Blu-ray upgrades for a reduced price. For a limited time, you can swap any DVD (not necessarily even from Warner) for a new WB Blu-ray for as low as $4.95 (or $14.95 for TV seasons), with free shipping on orders over $35.
Qualifying DVDs include any pre-recorded discs that contain professionally-produced content purchased at a regular retail or e-commerce store (excluding adult content). The DVDs can contain film, TV, sports, animation or documentary content and can be from Warner Bros. or non-Warner Bros. Blank or copied DVDs do not qualify.
Not that if you order a multi-disc set (such as a TV season), you only need to send in one DVD.
To upgrade, go to the
DVD2Blu site and select the titles you're interested in. Once you complete the online order, you will receive an order confirmation e-mail with an attached pre-paid shipping label. Print out the label and attach it to an envelope with your DVDs inside (do not include the cases or artwork). Then mail the envelope to WB's processing center, which will check that the number of DVDs match the number of Blu-ray discs requested in your order and ship your new Blu-ray discs.
