Does it give you the free movies automatically or do they have to be manually redeemed? Call me weird but I don't want some of those stinking up my library.
lol yeah this is me too.

Though this does mean anything bought using disc to digital on Vudu should work.
Automatically
I have like 40 movies on iTunes and 400 on VUDU. This is going to be so great
That kinda sucks for most people. I'm mostly on the clear since the only ones I have that weren't redeemed on Vudu/iTunes were the first 4 Mission Impossible movies, and those won't be available on MA anyway.Lot of people on various forums warning that UV doesn't get ported to MA, just content from the retailer. I'm guessing that means that UV content redeemed on the studio page, or on Flixster, etc.. don't get ported. It's sorta tough to separate Vudu from UV mentally though, since essentially all UV codes could have been redeemed there.
If all that's true, anyone that redeemed on Vudu or iTunes directly are in business I guess. I used one or the other for the longest time, but after having some problems with Vudu redemptions and having Vudu ALWAYS point the finger elsewhere.. I moved on and it became a viewing portal only. Flixster customer service was the BEST.
On another note, I guess it's time to redeem those Fox UHD codes on iTunes if Apple has them in UHD.
Page is back up with a "Moviesanywhere is coming"
yeah I think this early launch might have been a fuck up

It's ok, I think the people who snuck in early will surely get a prize.like missing movies and random name changes
Seems like it did went up earlier than intended at leastWe didn't sneak in! It was up!
Movies Anywhere, a free app and website digital locker service, launches tonight at 9 p.m. PT
The article means today, so it *should* be up (it isn't though).It's past that now, unless it means in a little less than 24 hours from now?
So I guess non-Vudu-bought/redeemed UV movies will come through.UltraViolet libraries will also port over through the participating digital retailers.
Why is it free?
It's not. You buy the movies or redeem digital codes for them from Blurays/DVD. It's not a Netflix thing.
This isn't actually the start of the Disney Netflix competitor they've been talking up right?
Nope, that's not supposed to start until sometime next year, I believe. This is a shot across the bow to UV, which Disney never embraced.
Really it's the death blow. UV will fade away once current deals and supply dry up. Who wants UV when you can get a code that will work on any service including itunes and VUDU?
RIP UV. You had to exist and then die so something better could be born.
It's actually amazing how quickly Disney won me over with their service. I remember very distinctly being upset with Disney being the only holdout for UltraViolet, going "Of COURSE they made their own service instead of joining the standard, fucking Disney." At the time it only worked with iTunes, but when it spread to VUDU and Amazon, suddenly I understood, and saw the light. Their solution was definitely superior to what UV what doing, and it's no surprise to me that studios have shifted gears.
But UV worked with multiple services as well. What was superior exactly?

Apple/Amazon/Google backing out/not agreeing really was the only issue. Once Disney got them on board, I'd argue it was basically game over unless UV got them on board, which they never could.
Is there an app for chromecast from phone? This would be a nice way to get around the Amazon block.
Wouldn't you just have to link up your Google and Amazon accounts to your Movies Anywhere account then just play from Google Play?
When the site was up earlier, that was definitely shown to be the case.It's going to be US only isn't
I like that their logo is basically one horizontal line away from being a more colorful version of the Watch Dogs logo XD
Just don't mess with my VUDU!
Vudu is Walmart. That's not going anywhere
I just created my account but it won't let me connect my VUDU account. No error or anything, just... when I try to connect it brings me to the vudu front page
anyone else having problems?
Also if this is all Disney's doing, why can't you connect your Disney account?
Also does anyone know if this makes SD movies you own on any of the connectable services automatically HD? I have the LotR extended trilogy on iTunes but it's only SD quality, even though I got my code out of a blu-ray set
Yeah, I'm having issues also.I just created my account but it won't let me connect my VUDU account. No error or anything, just... when I try to connect it brings me to the vudu front page

You can! I did it this morning.
