Digital copies

Postby Noor_Razzak » 30 Dec 2013 06:41

Does anyone use the digital copy codes? Anyone activating these for their portable media devices?

I started to initially with some titles but not so much anymore...

I've never tried to download them because there isn't any excitement of watching films on a portable device :(

For this reason, I put all my digital copies in their cases and let them expire.

Never watched or even redeemed a digital copy related to any DVD/BD release I've bought and probably won't. Just not my thing.
I have downloaded/streamed some titles on a laptop a few times during long train rides tho after recieving gift cards from a few domestic online stores but it still isn't something I do regularly but more like 1-2 times a year or less.
Work occasionally keeps me off the grid but I'll be around sooner or later.

I've done this, I have Netflix so that pretty much eliminates any need for a digital copy (mostly), however in the early days I did redeem some codes to have them on my iPad for when I travel overseas... however the entertainment consoles on most planes now have a decent amount of films there so I never ended up watching the digital copies I redeemed...

It's no good to even bother with this junk. Who the hack cares about such copies? I don't and never will.

Many do. It's the future. Whilst I hope there will always be physical media, it will eventually be all digital. Netflix and iTunes have changed the market substantially. In less than 10 years, digital will be the dominant format IMO. Whilst people like us care about the PQ/AQ etc, the general consumer couldn't care less.

I simply can't watch those .wmv rips... but you're right, the general consumer likes that crap.
