Facebook/Classic Film Offer

Just thought I’d mention that Turner Classic Movies are offering Facebook members 25% off purchases at their shop. Just click on the 25% tab on the right of the main site and follow the instructions.

This company offers soundtracks on CD and classic films on DVD and blu-ray, some of which are very rare and unavailable elsewhere. And BTW, if you happen to miss the Facebook offer or have no Facebook account, you can also subscribe to their newsletter and get 10% off.

Trade In Or Upgrade Your DVDs

Best Buy Canada and Future Shop are again accepting your old DVDs in exchange for $5 discounts on select Blu-Ray titles.

Future Shop is also accepting old DVDs and Blu-Rays in exchange for $10 off select 3D Blu-Ray titles.

This offer starts today and ends on November 1st, 2012.

Future Shop DVD Trade In Offers

Following its sister chain’s lead, Future Shop is also offering to take your old DVD off of your hands in exchange for discounts on a few selected Blu-Ray titles.

This offer will expire on August 16th. But unlike the Best Buy Canada offer several 3D Blu-Ray titles have also been made available at a $10 discount.

Trade In Your DVDs At Best Buy

Best Buy Canada will be accepting DVDs for $5 towards the purchase of selected titles from July 20th to August 17th, 2012.

I’m hoping to trade in some of my DVDs. But of course I’m only upgrading some of my collection. It’s rather pointless to upgrade DVDs with little to no scenic or special effect content like dramas and mysteries. And I’ve got quite a collection of music video compilations that will probably not be up-converted.

I will probably consider upgrading some of my live concert videos though, like Pink Floyd’s “Pulse” and Queen’s “Live At Wembley ’86”. But I also have a few that I know will require some serious remastering before being released on blu-ray.

BTW, Queen’s Greatest Video Hits, a boxed set that includes both Greatest Video Hits 1 and 2, will be released on DVD on August 28th, 2012.
