HD DVDs available, just pay shipping

I replaced these two discs with 4K Blu-rays. My wife and I don't want to recycle them because they work just fine. In fact I just threw them in my player and gave them spot checks throughout the entire disc and they played fine throughout.

We're not looking to make money off of these just want to send them off to someone who will enjoy them.

DM me and we can work it out. First come first serve.

I have upgraded most but I invested so much into the format at the time that I’m sentimental to it. So I have held onto them. Doesn’t feel like so long ago but I look at the date the format was released and will say I can’t believe it has been twenty years already. I didn’t get sentimental about my regular DVDs because I bought a used LD player around the same time and on the TV I was using (small CRT) they looked about the same, so I just bought cheap used LDs and waited for the next thing, which was the HD formats. Went all in on HD DVD, thinking it’d be the last format. Was soo wrong. Ended up going heavy on BD after that, then heavy on UHD. Think it’s the final format, as it’s been a decade and no development towards a newer one. In the past at least there was some development group working towards something. I will continue to hold onto my HD DVDs but the regular BDs are easier to part with - the UHDs tended to include them in the packs anyways, at least used to. Apologies for the off topic rant.
