So do you guys use the digital copies that come with some blu-ray's?

Up until today I had only used The Dark Knight one.

So I decided to use all of the ones I have that aren't expired. I checked my collection on blu-ray.com and I have 49 movies that came with digital copies. I'm up to 9. Only 40 more to go!

no, never. I have no reason to. I wish these digital copies were forced upon us to keep the costs down, if any at all.

Yea. I don't really have much use for them. I just figured why let them go to waste. Maybe I'll get an iPad one day.

 

[YagizY]

I redeem my digital copies because they expire but rarely do I really use them. I don't really watch movies "on-the-go" though.

I'm not interested in those digital copies at all. Total waste of space.

 

[Lucky Forward]

Dumb question, but how are digital copies different from the blu-ray disc? Are they a different storage format?

How did you go about doing that? I couldn't find anything that gave you an expiration date for digital copies. That would come in handy since a lot of mine are still sealed. Thanks.

I hate to sound like a troll, but I swear A.I. is one of the the worst movies I've ever seen. Me and my friends were cracking up at the ending. Tears in our eyes. Soooooooo cheesy :lol

It doesn't tell you when they expire. I meant I just checked to see which ones had digital copies.

[Az987]

I don't think I've ever seen A.I. all the way through. I'll have to check it out when its released.

[Az987]

Does anyone have the US version of Unleashed (Danny the dog)? If so, how does it look?

 

[Cosmic Bus]

I know distantmantra was interested in Exit Through the Gift Shop a while back; well, DVD Beaver now confirms that the UK disc is region free, though it doesn't look like much of an improvement...

The Blu-ray IS region-free? WOOHOOO!!!

edit; Ordered via Amazon UK. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[JB1981]

I wonder if A.I. got the "4K" transfer that Minority Report got.

 

[Az987]

Blu-ray.com put up a review for Battle Royale. It doesn't have the best picture quality but its region free so thats a plus I guess. I know some of you were looking forward to it.

Is it wierd that all of a sudden I don't want to go to the cinema to watch movies? well ones I know I want to watch. I like building my blu collection and by the time you buy a ticket and snacks in a cinema you are paying $20 bucks which would be the price of buying the blu. This change happened to me recently but I am having to force myself not to go in some cases telling myself it will be better on blu ray :lol .

I really wanna see Tron and Unstoppable but I think if I wait I will be better off. Another one was Easy A. I heard that movie was suprisingly good and no one would go with me to see it so now I gotta wait for the blu. Which I suppose feeds into my habit.

This has forced me to watch the preorder list on blu-ray.com and drop them into my wishlist as I go.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced DVD ($28.96) and Blu-ray ($34.95) releases of The Social Network for January 11th. Extras on the DVD will include a commentary with director David Fincher, and a second commentary with Writer Aaron Sorkin & The Cast. The Blu-ray release will include the commentaries, along with a feature length documentary ("How Did They Ever Make a Movie of Facebook?"), featurettes ("Angus Wall, Kirk Baxter and Ren Klyce on Post", "Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and David Fincher on the Score", "In the Hall of the Mountain King: Reznor's First Draft", "Swarmatron", "Jeff Cronenweth and David Fincher on the Visuals"), and a Ruby Skye VIP Room: Multi-Angle Scene Breakdown feature.

Three Trent Reznor related featurette ("Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and David Fincher on the Score", "In the Hall of the Mountain King: Reznor's First Draft", "Swarmatron",) makes me all happy!

I've gotten addicted to getting blu-ray deals on Amazon. Got tons of blu-rays for $5-8. So really, a trip to the movies = 3 blu-rays for me. Yeah I'll stick to watching at home, thanks

 

[Stinkles]

What did you find cheesy about the ending?

Why, the aliens, of course.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Did anyone import Takeshi Kitano's Outrage?

 

[Magnus]

This makes me very happy.

Out the same day as It's A Trap!, Tuesday!

 

[Anth0ny]

So.... the Family Guy Star Wars trilogy sees a Blu Ray release before the Star Wars trilogy.

o_o

 

[CiSTM]

Did anyone import Takeshi Kitano's Outrage?

I did. What do you want to know?

 

[TheKaeptain]

I did. What do you want to know?

If you don't mind I would like to know these two things: PQ and how is the actual movie?

 

[Suairyu]

It's A Trap was pleasantly amusing. I thought the other two were not.

 

[Lucky Forward]

Is there anything special you should use to clean a plasma TV screen? I have a 50" Kuro and until now I've just lightly dusted the screen, but now I see it needs a little more.

A slightly damp microfiber towel.

Dumb question, but how are digital copies different from the blu-ray disc? Are they a different storage format?

Digital copies are 480p resolution computer video files, most commonly transferred to ipods/ipads. Blu-rays are a different video format, mostly in 1080p resolution.

 

[Vicious]

Just a heads up. That crazy Goonies box set with all the extras (map, game, etc.) just dropped from $40 to $6 on amazon.

Sold out, crap.

Out the same day as It's A Trap!, Tuesday!

Meh, wasn't crazy about them. Robot Chicken's SW specials were better.

 

[McBacon]

Hmm, not sure whether this film is worth watching. Are there any reviews?

 

[Xater]

Hmm, not sure whether this film is worth watching. Are there any reviews?

Absolutely agree. That cover is terrible.

 

[VGChampion]

Digital copies that don't work on iTunes bother me. Kind of sucks when they only work on one format like Speed Racer.

And, do companies put in new codes after the original batches expire? Always wondered about that as I don't buy my Blu's on launch usually.

And man, that Social Network box is horrible. Guess it's supposed to be like the poster? I kept looking for the title until I saw it at the top. Someone needs to go back to school.

 

[StuBurns]

I like the cover, a mix of clean design and information overload. It basically is the Facebook experience.

 

[Xater]

Digital copies that don't work on iTunes bother me. Kind of sucks when they only work on one format like Speed Racer.

Yeah I have a couple of Warner discs that have digital copies in some stupid Windows media format. Absolutely useless.

 

[Veidt]

Don't really see any difference between the cover and the nature of the film.

 

[Schattenjäger]

I believe bestbuy is having its Hbo sale

 

[Snaku]

Fixed.

Agreed.

For Speed Racer, and WB in general, you can actually email them or something and have them give you the digital copy for iTunes. I have Speed Racer on mine.

started watching Thin Red Line on Blu Ray tonight and:

haha, this is really interesting..

DVD Beaver can suck my balls.

My copy of Exit Through the Gift Shop came today. The PS3 recognizes the movie, as the graphic for it shows up, and it loads the warning screen. Then it won't go any farther.

AWESOME.
