I was getting really confused there for a minute. "Why would Green Lantern come with a digital copy of [the awful Milla Jovovich movie] Ultraviolet?"

You get a streaming copy that is only guaranteed to be available to you for 1 year, and a downloadable copy that requires a special Adobe AIR App and, unlike the streaming version, can't be viewed on/synced to iOS or Android devices. In Warner Bros's case, for the streaming copy you then have to go over to flixster.com and make an account there.

You know, I have like thirty DVDs/Digital Copies, and a bunch of my friends have the same issue, and no one I know uses them. The DVDs are at least good if I want to loan a movie out to a friend who doesn't have a BluRay player. I'm curious what most CD goons do with them, if they use them at all.

So I just picked up a copy of Clone Wars season three, and was a little sad the case didn't follow the book format. It doesn't really matter, I just enjoyed the style of the design and the mini art books that came with them. I wonder how the Blu forum spergs are taking it.

Some are selling their old copies of Seasons 1 & 2 (as apparently they've been/will be re-released in standard cases), some are refusing to buy any future seasons, some are refusing to buy any WB releases ever again, it's the normal response. For similar fun, check out the Jurassic Park post on that site. Or don't. (I just wanted to see the Best Buy exclusive steelbook...)

Worth picking up on BR for the visuals alone. The film itself is love-it-or-hate-it, but even if you end up hating it, you have a disc full of beautiful pictures that look fantastic in high-def.

Saboteur, Shadow of a Doubt, Rope, and Rear Window are almost perfect for DVD encodes. Vertigo, The Birds, and Frenzy all look great too. Only The Man Who Knew Too Much stands out as terrible quality for some inexplicable reason. Still, Blus of Vertigo, Rear Window, and The Birds are inevitable.

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate thread to put this in, but it didn't seem to warrant its own thread. Apparently Warner Bros. is going to stop producing Harry Potter DVD/blus. Link quote:Burbank, CA – October 24, 2011 – Harry Potter, the #1 motion picture franchise of all time, will soon disappear from shelves, as Warner Bros. stops shipping all Harry Potter theatrical film titles (including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows™ – Part 2, and Harry Potter: The Complete 8-Film Collection) as of December 29, 2011 (moratorium does not include digital – Electronic Sell-Through & VOD – or games). The Harry Potter franchise has grossed more than $12.1 billion for Warner Bros. Entertainment – with $7 billion at the worldwide box office for Warner Bros. Pictures and $5.1 billion for Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. I really hope Disney's retarded vault policy doesn't spread. I'm still not entirely sure why the hell they do this, aside from creating some weird artificial demand for it some years down the line, but I suppose money is as good as any reason for Hollywood to do its thing.

They're reissuing the entire series next year. I've held off the Blus for the specific reason of waiting for a complete set. I can't imagine why this would be a problem for anyone. The plain wrap editions are cheap and the complete ultimate box will probably hover around $80 on sale. Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Oct 26, 2011 |

Neo Rasa posted:So many of the Blu-rays that come out now lack the features of their earlier DVD counterparts. Is this a licensing thing? The way disk sales are now are they actually still expecting a successful doubledip? It depends but this wasn't a licensing thing. The first run of Evil Dead Blu-Rays had the DVD with extras in the case. I don't know what their logic was for removing the DVD from later pressings. You think it would be cheap enough to keep it in. Blu-Ray.com posted:When Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead was released on Blu-ray , it came out in a limited edition set, which included a special features DVD. Now Amazon and other retailers are already sold out of this first edition and are selling a single-disc release, which drops most of the extras from the limited edition, with the exception of the audio commentary.
