Got a pile of HD DVDs you want to trade? In the US, Warner has just made it easy by launching its Red2Blu mail-in campaign. Perhaps stung by belated guilt after effectively ending the format war for Toshiba, the Studio wants US residents to swap-out their dusty HD DVDs for Blu-rays, for a small fee and handling charges. Each consumer can exchange up to 25 HD DVDs.
All the studio wants is the original sleeve insert, and $4.95 per title plus shipping. You’ll then be sent the corresponding Blu-ray disc. It’s a neat idea, and one that almost certainly will not be replicated in the UK.

Nickcsback (not verified) - 23 April 2009 - 9:42amWhy don't we get these offers? I'm not bitter honest, sold all mine on Amazon as soon as Toshiba pulled out, but really it does cheese me when we don't get treated the same as the Yanks.
Same goes with the Digital copies, which the states seem to be getting more and more where as we have had about 7 over here on Blu Rays
