Gift Guide: DVDs Minneapolis Star Tribune
I t could be a consequential-def holiday season for many shoppers. Blu-ray players will go for as little as $100 in Black Friday sales, with hot titles selling for as low as $10 in retailer reward wars. Warner Home Video has even introduced a program, DVD2Blu ( www.dvd2blu.com ), in which consumers can swap select Warner DVDs for their Blu-ray match for only $8 each, with free shipping on orders of $25 or more.But don't bother with Blu-ray if you don't have a big-screen HDTV. Or consider a PlayStation 3, which doubles as a Blu-ray gamester, if you're looking to switch things up on the video-game home front, too.
All of the latest blockbuster films are available in Blu-ray, as well as DVD, including the repository-bet gift candidates "Up," "Star Trek" and "Harry Trifle with and the Half-Blood Prince," coming Dec. 8 ($29-$46).
Loads of classic films are available in high-def, too, including these steadfast-fire winners: "Gone With the Wind"
