Same deal... not quite open yet. "Coming Fall 2009"
Looks like they are taking VHS's, too.

Disney Upgrade to BD
Disney does Blu-Ray better than anyone.
You get the Blu-Ray disc, a regular DVD of the movie, and a digital copy.
Fantastic.

1. Digital Copies require Windows Media Player, which really means they aren't digital copies. They are WMP copies. As far as I am concerned that is false advertising.
2. No VHS in the upgrade program.
3. I just did 11 of my Disney movies. All you do is go to the website, tell them which movies you want to "upgrade," and it gives you a pdf to print out. You tape your Proof-of-Purchase tabs from your DVD case to this form, and mail it in. When they receive it, I will receive, via email, coupons for $8 off each of those movies when I purchase them on BD.
So, I still have my old DVDs and cases and covers, I just cut off the tiny proof of purchase tab. So I still have my versions for the car dvd player for the kid. Or I could sell them. Whatever.
Pretty good deal, overall.

My Blackberry can play digital copies of movies. It cannot play WMP copies of movies.TheCatt wrote:I'm pretty sure WMP is digital. :pGORDON wrote:1.

No, your XBox can play XBox games. WMP is required to play WMP files. WMP can also play a lot of general digital media files. I don't think your XBox can play generic software.TheCatt wrote:My Xbox can play digital video games, but it cannot play PS3 games.
These aren't generic digital copies of movies, they are WMP-only copies of movies.
And I don't intend on arguing about it past this point.

It isn't in my computer, it was in my blackberry. It is composed of 0's and 1's. My BB can play digital versions of movies. They don't need to be BB specific. It can't play these files.
So whatever.

You bought a raffle ticket for a brand new car, and won. Go pick it up.TPRJones wrote:There you go. That's what digital means. Made of digits.It is composed of 0's and 1's.
Oh, it is a railroad car. What, you don't have any tracks on which to get it home? Too bad. You were only promised a new car when you bought the ticket.
