What are you doing with your SD DVDs ?

I am giving them to family and freinds

You know, the more I watch HD the more some regular dvd's just look like crap. lol. I never thought I would say that but yeah. I mean, some DVD's look great upscaled but I popped in Spider-Man (Superbit) and it looks very fuzzy, some shots are good but overall doesn't look that great. Although, that is not with all DVD's just a few films.


Either way I already sold some of my DVD's to DVD planet for store credit and purchased some new HD-DVD's. I'll probably keep most of my collection of DVD's just in case I want to watch something in my Bedroom, but some of my DVD's are going to be sold off to DVD Planet. lol.

So far ive been giving them away...

Darn, that's quite a bit. lol. I think I've sold 20 to date...I may sell 20 more. I'll probably keep all comedy, cartoon, TV shows and sell the movies I tend to watch on the big screen.

I am giving the SD DVDs that I have on HD-DVD to my family. I'm not too big on extras, so, they don't really bother me.

I'm keeping mine. Most will never be on HD, and those that are, I probably won't double dip for, with a few exceptions.

I am watching and enjoying them

This is a rough pole. It really depends on the title. Some I will keep in SD just for the extra's. Some I will sell because I don't need another copy, and some I won't bother getting up in HD any time soon because its not a necessity for me.

The SD DVD still look very good using the HD DVD players. Their upscaling capability is quite good. Movies like The Pirates Of Caribbean still look very good when using an A1 player.

And I thought I was the only one!

I think you're missing an option:


6. Only selling the ones I'm replacing with HD-DVD/Blu-ray versions of the same title.


That's what I'll be doing once I run out of shelf space.

Oops your quite right, that is actually what i meant. I don't think anyone is selling everything off as I would assume some stuff will never be released on HD. As with some stuff still hasn't been brought over from Laserdisc.

I gave my Batman Begins disc away, sold a few on ebay.... I pretty much quit buying DVDs almost 2 years ago anyway. Mainly in anticipation of the HD players, and also because I am sick of double/triple releases that offer virtually no new material and often not even appreciable improvements in video/audio quality.


I expect the same sort of things to happen on highdef discs, although many re-releases may be to make up for shoddy first mastering to HD/Bluray

I have been selling titles that I know are out or on the way on Blu Ray.


But,... I am getting tired of getting $4 for them, seems not really worth it. Of course if it only costs $2 for the Blu Ray version (which is the way it went for Tomb Raider after $10 rebate) it's ok.



I'm starting to think I should just keep my DVD's and buy only titles that are new to me on Blu Ray but then,.. who am I kidding. If it was worthwhile to buy on DVD,.. it's worthwhile to buy on Blu Ray.

I sold mine years ago in anticipation of buying my favorites on BD.
