CEPro has reported that Warner Bros. has decided to take care of customers who tried to follow them down the HD-DVD path. If you chose a format early in this war, you may feel that you lost a bit of money investing in the now dead format but never fear, for a small fee, you can get Blu-Ray versions of 25 different titles from the studio.
From the article:
The studio is offering the "upgrade" program for up to 25 HD DVD titles at $4.95 a piece via Red2Blu.com.
The best part for HD DVD fans? It appears that you don’t even need to send in the disc — just the cover art sleeve for the title. So, you can keep the HD DVD disc and play it to your heart’s content.
While you still have to give up your cover sleeve, it’s good to see a studio step up to take care of consumers in this way. Hopefully we’ll see other companies do the same soon.
