HD DVD Makes a Comeback
2009
Suddenly HD DVD is popular again. Toshiba hasn’t decided to revive HD DVD but Warners Bros. has with their new offer. It’s called Red2Blu and lets you purchase a copy of your HD DVD discs on Blu-Ray for $4.95 each with a handling and shipping fee of $6.95 per order. You can purchase one disc per title and a maximum of 25 titles.
Even better is you only need to send in the cover art so you still have your HD DVD discs to enjoy or more than likely unload on eBay. On the surface it seems like a great deal and for the more popular titles it is. However most of the 128 titles are now catalog titles of limited popularity.
We are happy to see the cost of Blu-ray media come down regardless of the reason or conditions in this case. All told I think the real winner will be eBay with endless listings for HD DVD cover art, HD DVD discs without cover art, and new sealed Warner Bros. Blu-Ray discs.
