First off let me just say – Wow! a Canadian only program in a world where everything seems to be US-centric, will wonders never cease.
Okay, now that I have that off my chest on to the news (if you’re Canadian at least <snicker>). It seems that Twentieth Century Fox, MGM Home Entertainment and HMV have gotten together in order to con convince you to ditch those boring old DVDs littering your house and replace them with the hot Blu-ray movie titles.
The recycling program, as they term it, is called “Go Green with Blue” (talk about greenwashing) will give you $7.00 to use towards one of the current 250 Blu-ray movie titles that are available. The DVDs that are turned in and still usable are going to be donated to children’s hospitals and libraries this way everyone can get that warm and fuzzy feeling from hitting all the hot social soft spots.
Fox and MGM will also be using their Twitter account to promote new releases but also to let folks know about their 10/10/10 special days of the month. this little goodie deal means that when you bring in 10 DVDs and buy 10 Blu-ray discs you’ll also be given an extra $10 HMV gift card.
Here’s the complete list of Blu-ray titles eligible for the trade-in discount
