    DVD2Blu  May 2010

    Warner Brothers has expanded its DVD2Blu program. A service that offers customers the opportunity to send in a DVD copy of a movie and receive back from the studio a Blu-ray version. Customers can choose from 90 of the company's "most popular titles to upgrade". The available movies include several well known titles like "The Aviator," A Christmas Story," and "Get Smart."

    Customers need to go to the site and select the movies they want to upgrade. From there, they need only to send the DVD version of the movie they currently own to the service. Within 4-5 weeks, Warner Brothers ships the Blu-ray copy of the film back to the customer. pricing for individual movies starts at $4.95 per movie. DVD2Blu is only available to U.S. customers and customers are only allowed 25 film swaps per household.

    The biggest issue facing DVD2Blu right now is the limited library available. Considering how many films Warner Brothers has produced over the years, it seems that 91 films currently available is kind of thin.
