Yes, as blu rays are coming out, I am replacing my DVDs.

McLovin · 11-09-2007, 11:21 PM

I think a more interesting question is what are you doing with the movies you have replaced?

Keeping them, selling them or giving them away?

tommyboy81 · 11-09-2007, 11:25 PM

Yes I am. Trying to anyways.

Whytewash · 11-09-2007, 11:26 PM

I am, in time, replacing all of my DVDs. I dont have too many (maybe 100) but I love them all. I only buy movies if I like them so in turn, I will eventually have all of them repurchased on Blu as they come out.

GregBlu5 · 11-09-2007, 11:27 PM

Especially when there's a sale, it seems so easy to spend under $20.00 to replace a regular DVD title. While I voted all of 'em, that's only mostly true. A few titles are still too expensive on Blu ($27.95, for example) to replace; but when they drop below $20.00, look out!

And I give my previously viewed SDs away to friends who seem to be giving them a good home. Those that aren't even viewed and still have the wrapping on them, I give them as gifts.

We could send our DVDs to the fan boys. They won't notice any difference in PQ or SQ anyway.

bkbluray · 11-09-2007, 11:29 PM

I have already begun to sell some of my standard DVDs to make room (and to make money) for new Blu-rays. It's nice to know the DVDs will be used to get Blu-rays.

LynxFX · 11-09-2007, 11:29 PM

Replacing about 20%. A few that I wasn't have been replaced because of good deals, but other than that it is just new releases.

Sell mine to MovieStop to get extra BRs.

Stuman · 11-09-2007, 11:42 PM

Now would be a good time to sell off as many of thoose DVD's as you can - cause they will be totaly worthless in a few years and we won't get squat for em'

The Movie industry must be rubbin' their hands together as we trade up our titles from VHS to DVD to Blu ....

stockstar1138 · 11-09-2007, 11:42 PM

i sold all my dvds (except for Star Wars) to pay for my ps3.

ifg · 11-09-2007, 11:44 PM

I have been giving away most of my dvds i replace to family members. I am replacing all my action/sci-fi movies only (which is most of them). movies like Waiting and romatintic comedies, I'll pass.

Tulsa · 11-09-2007, 11:44 PM

I've got my 400 disc Sony that holds my standard dvd's (it's almost full) and those dvd's stay right there but when a title comes out for blu that I have already, upgrading is the only option.

At the rate I'm going, I'm going to need a 400 disc blu player soon.

supersix4 · 11-09-2007, 11:52 PM

yep almost all! but not ones I hated

amesblank · 11-09-2007, 11:53 PM

the only ones i've replaced so far are Spiderman 1 and 2 only because I bought the BD trilogy.

katharsis · 11-10-2007, 12:01 AM

I am gradually replacing the DVDs that I own if the Blu-ray version is really worth it PQ and AQ wise. Some dramas or comedies I will keep for now as I don't really need to have those in blu... probably end up replacing them sometime down the road when this becomes the standard format and are cheaper.
It's hard to keep trying to replace some and buy new releases at the same time when you only have limited money to spend. I guess I need to be selling a DVD lot on ebay in the next few days, to support my new habbit

The Don · 11-10-2007, 12:13 AM

at the current prices, I am only replacing my favorites and won't dive in fully until they are under 10 bucks....

anything new that I like is mine and anything that I really like and already own on DVD will get the proverbial doubledip...
