Best Buy "Upgrade and Save" Program Gives You $5 Off Blu-rays for DVD Trade-ins

It's not a massive discount, but if you're upgrading you could do a lot worse.

Best Buy has launched a new program that hopes to drive a bit more consumer interest in Blu-ray discs. It's called "Upgrade and Save" and it aims to give you a way to upgrade from DVD to Blu-ray while still getting a little value out of your old DVDs. Trading in a DVD will get you a $5 coupon, usable on any Blu-ray movie over $9.

As nice as it would be if these were just straight-up gift certificates, these are coupons, which means you can only use one $5 coupon per Blu-ray. You're also limited to getting five of these coupons per visit, so if you have a big collection you want to turn in you might want to bring a few friends to help.

Cheap Blu-rays, Free Giveaways, and $50 Blu-ray Players at Blockbuster This Weekend

The Blockbuster Open House runs November 19th and 20th and features plenty of discounts and even a game tournament.

Blockbuster seemed like it was down for the count, but the sale to Dish has helped things start to turn around. It's not there yet, but the company is at least looking in the right direction. The one big hurdle, of course, is getting people back into those brick and mortar locations.

The Blockbuster Open House this weekend should do a lot to help that along. The company is offering up 49 cent rentals on older movies, 99 cent game rentals and sales on previously viewed and played titles.

In fact, for movies and games priced $15 and below you'll be able to bundle your own deal. You can get three for $20 or five for $30. Five Blu-rays for $30? Not too shabby.

Blockbuster also advertises that with a 1-year subscription to the Blockbuster Combo Pass or Blockbuster Total Access you'll be able to get a Blu-ray player for $49. The Blockbuster stores we contacted did not have a brand or model number handy.
