Would you Pay $5 to Upgrade an Old DVD to Blu-ray?

Warner Bros. has an interesting program that they’ve recently expanded a bit—mail in an old DVD movie along with $5 to swap it for the newer, Blu-ray version. After mulling it over, I think I like the idea.

It’s $5 to upgrade most titles (some run a few bucks more) There are shipping charges and up to a two-month turnaround, but if you exchange 7 or more movies, at least the shipping is free.

Only 90 titles are offered at the moment, which, to be fair, surely has at least a touch of correlation with the fact that Warner Bros still doesn’t have their entire catalog released in BD. But premium titles, like the Batman films, are off the table.

Where I think the deal could be very appealing is if you were to pick up used WB DVDs for a buck or two, then mail them in, scoring yourself a $7 BD movie rather than spending double that or more.

how do you feel about the offer?

Somewhere in Hobbiton

I have decided to add another artistic outlet for myself. Yesterday,  I started a tumblr entitled Somewhere in Hobbiton where I will post pictures, quotes, audio files, etc. that interest me. Please feel free to tell me what you think, I encourage feedback people!! This in no way means I will be abandoning this blog, just expanding my horizons so to speak.

This is all I have to say for now, I will let it speak for itself. I must get back to my final exam studying now. Frequently join me on a journey to Hobbiton!!!

Palahniuk & Chocolate

Just thought I would pass along a cool blog I have been checking out lately. It is by a young girl who I share a lot in common with. She posts about such things as Wes Anderson movies, beatles related stuff, Hunter S. Thompson as well as Chuck Palahniuk books. Also, a bunch of political humor, she has some real good pictures in regards to this. Not much more to say about this folks, I will post a link at the bottom if anyone wishes to take a gander.
