Warner starts trade-in program for DVD to Blu-ray

Quote:

If you own one of the 91 Warner DVDs available, you can send in your DVD along with $5-7 and the company will send you back the Blu-ray version.

Make sure you copy them first. ^_^
Best of both worlds.

U-torrent? Old fashioned, Megaupload Platinum rocks!



Now you see how the brothers and sisters in the P2P movement look out for one another. My man cyprusrom was gracious enough to let me know about a site that may better assist me with file sharing. Do you think that the industry will give me secrets on how to find affordable music.......NOT!!! Instead, they want me to trade-in movies I have already payed for in order to receive a new version, and still charge me an upgrade fee and shipping costs. Did we request the industry to change the technology from DVD to Blu-Ray.....NOT So why should we be on the hook the the upgrade fees?

I don't see any problems with the "DVD trade" program. For those that do care about the new Blu-ray and all that,and were gonna "upgrade" anyway, I actually think is a very good, cheap way to do it. After all, no one is forced to "switch", spend any money. I personally am happy with an "Upscaller".
When I would see a problem, is if they would stop releasing movies on DVD, and go Blu-ray exclusively...but then again, if it would get to that point, probably a BD player and the discs would cost what the DVD players/discs costs now...
Either way, I am "digitally" exclusive, wouldn't affect me much at all:)!

Just read here on afterdawn that Rapid-Share is dodging "THE MAN"... Is Megaupload that much more secure, or is it that you recommended this site for legal file sharing only? If your recommendation was in regard to the latter, then Megaupload would be of no use to me!! Thanks anyway!!

All of these sites are for "legal" file sharing only!!;)
RapidShare and megauplaod are in the same business.

The reason why I like MU, is better for dl, with a premium account you get no restriction, no limit on storage/bandwidth. RS has daily/monthly restrictions. MU also has a "Platinum" option, buying a Premium account for life,, which is only about $175, instead of monthly re-renewal.
The Free accounts is better with MU as well, no ridiculous time limit between dls.

You mean MegaVideo, not MU? Although is same company, is a totally different issue.

I can understand complaints about poor selection, high replacement costs, high shipping, etc...but to complain that they are giving you the option to upgrade to better quality is just silly.


lol... okay, while I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, my guess that the days of your precious DVD's will be coming to a halt in a few years is not so far fetched. With BD players costing as little as $125,even lower in some cases, and the prices of BD video even dropping, DVD's will soon be phased out. Your DVD option will not last partner, believe me....and yes, you will be forced to upgrade in order to own new digital video!! The industry is going to squeeze the last bit of change they can out of DVD owners because they have recognized this fact also, and if they can get current DVD owners to upgrade to BD, that would be an additional plus. This is their way of getting you to purchase their products 2-3 different times.

You may find this idea silly...lol But be my guest and pay the optional upgrade fee of 7 bucks and the $5-$10 shipping, but don't turn your lip up in anger when you see that same BD movie in a few years at your local quickie mart for $5 and no option for it on DVD.

No. I think they mean if we own any of the 91 Warner DVDs that is made available by Warner Bros. You can select up to 25 Dvds you wish to upgrade.

so insert your credit card details.. then there is actual hardline legal proof that you are paying for access to stolen content.. the grey area of sharing is gone.. it's being done for profit and that my friends is criminal. These pay sites will not hesitate to hand over yoyr details when they get closed down.. wait and see. RS have already bowed to the man and handed over thousands of ip's of uploaders to the german anti-piracy groups.. this was widely reported last year (or don't people have memories?)

you are all being tricked by these people.. time will show (same as the newsgroups) that when it comes to hand over your details or face jail these people will hang on to their millions and you will be the ones taking the fall.. unlike the bay guys who at least stood by their principles and destroyed any evidence they had of YOUR activities.

trade in dvd for blu-crap .. I smell the stench of desperation.. hahahahaha

Warner Bros. are not as good as they looks like.

They try to stop making regular DVD's sooner that 2013 when they supposed not wonna make them any more.
Them whole idea is to cut-off-some-how SOONER regular DVD's Piracy (Since few people know how to back-up Blu-Rays and cost more) ......in order to make more $ in the long run.

That seems a bit far fetched...I bet I could train a monkey to pirate blurays using AnyDVD...you don't even need to know how to read to do it...the hardest part of the whole process is driving to the store to get the blank disks. On top of that, new piracy measures on DVD have made newer disks unrippable to the old freewares like DVDdecrypter and DVDShrink...so you have to get AnyDVD to rip DVDs...it is now the same exact process to rip a BluRay or a DVD.

I really don't think there are any conspiracies in place at the WB, other than their plan to make a movie so bad that it kills (they have gotten close many times, but no success yet).

[b You Earth People are Stupid , Stupid, Stupid Stupid ][/b]

With the Price of Some {not all } blu-Ray disc coming down especially Older Titles For as Little as $8.00-$10.00 range why go through the hassle of trading your Dvd in at all ? keep it for the kids to play on their consloe or player/computer ect... I think WB is trying to do a Cash for Clunkers But they have'nt thought it out sufficiently IMHO anyways PEACE!!!

Really? Ice cream sucks too, still eat it every day...
Private trackers,public junk, whatever...torrents are stone age...

MU is not necessarily paid for, they have the free version, which works pretty good.The reason why I paid for is so I can get my money back every time someone downloads files that I uploaded to my accout.
MediaFire is even better for speed, no time restriction for free accounts, just no rewards system.

As for finding "anything"...yes, you can find everything, if know where to look. Plus you leave less traces, the torrents are being monitored heavily enough nowadays...You don't depend on seeders,pretty much dld at your networks max speed all the time;if in the right place, you have direct FTP access to any material available, and convert any other links, for example RapidShare, Hotfile, Netload...to MU premium links.
If your torrent is up and all you have is a bunch of jack ass leeches, it'll take some time. A direct, hotlink on a storage site, once is up, it all depends on your speed, you can have a 2GB movie in less than 10 minutes.

I would not be willing to pay for hosting if I was planning on putting something illegal up there...that seems like the most traceable thing of all! It is bad enough paying for a VPN that changes IP addresses and erases the old records frequently.

I don't understand WB's motivation for offering this; what do they gain?
Why only those 91 titles?
Why 125 HD titles?
Will others studios follow?

It doesn't make sense; what are they planning to do with the returned DVDs?
