The first is the awkwardly titled but greatly appreciated "<a href="http://warnerbros.eprize.net/goblu/index.tbapp">Warnerblu Buy 5 Get 1 Free</a>" program, which allows customers to receive a free Blu-ray (from a predetermined list) after purchasing and registering 5 select Blu-ray titles.<br /><br />The second program, sure to make anyone burned by HD-DVD a little less sore about the format's death, is the "<a href="http://www.red2blu.com/">Red2Blu</a>" program. For a small fee (typically $4.95 per disc) plus shipping & handling, Warner will exchange your existing HD-DVD for the same movie or TV show on Blu-ray. Here's hoping that other studios follow suit and adopt their own HD-DVD exchange program and a round of applause for Warner's for introducing two customer friendly programs in one day.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27592986-3213096014967230451?l=hidefdvdempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

In actuallity though, it's a place where male avatars can surround, dance on, and ultimately harass female avatars.<br /><br />Still, with promised features such as the ability to share streaming audio and video and more game environments coming to (virtual) life as Home destinations, it's hard not to get a little geeked over what's to come.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27592986-2654417671149237976?l=hidefdvdempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
