I am not sure how profitable this could be, but much of it could be written off as marketing too. As a result of this less cynical people will gain loyalty to the brand in addition to exposing more to the wbstore and online presence.
One thing is for sure, it's a good deal.

I'm still torn if I want to do this or not. I have 3 HD DVD players, and only 2 blu-ray players (PS3, and a combo LG BH200). I'll probably end up keeping with the HD DVD versions.
well since your not loosing the movies just the sleve art you got both and can actually compare the quality and such
Yes. I think it's a loss leader, and they plan to recoup the cost in increased sales. Somebody probably figured out it's easier to convert someone to Blu-ray that already has shown an interest in HD, than JSP.
I emailed about them Sunday just to see what they'll say. Guessing I'll get an 'as supplies last' response.
yea and the price of the 4pack of hddvd went from 9.95 to 14.95 i hope they honor the 9.95 price i ordered under
Looks like the program was more successful than they planned (budgeted) for. Certainly, that PE offer was a great deal.
I filled out the request form on their website on Sunday.
For those of you who already went through the process, how long did it take before you received the email reply with the mailing label?

Response I just received in regards to PE, I knew I should have taken care of it last week
I do apologize, Planet Earth has been removed from the Red2Blu project. At this time I am not able to tell you if it is gone for good or will be added back on in the future. The best advise I can give you is to sign up for the email updates by clicking the envelope in the upper right hand corner of the Red2Blu website.
If there is anything else we can do for you, please contact us back.

Hmmm, I can't upgrade my Complete Matrix Trilogy. No such option there...
Had to call them on the phone to get my email sent to me for shipping. WHile I was waiting for tech person to fix the problem I asked just this question. What about Matrix and Terminator 3 being added to the list.
She said the plan will add more to the list if this is successful. Right now this almost like a Beta test.
Sure hope some of the other studios do the same. I got a boat load of stuff I would like to convert.
