And I don't get why UV codes stopped being redeemable in iTunes.

With physical media the used market ensures that there is no possible way that anyone can prevent a title from being available.

Either that or they'll take them off of the purchase sites in favor of streaming. Music is going in the same direction. |
You guys have to wake up and smell the Digital, Discs are a thing of the past. Technology moves fast, one day Blu-ray was King and the next day people are wondering what happened. Discs had a good run, but now it's all about Digital Streaming. I saw this coming years ago when I Streamed DVD Video from my Home Server. I think it's a good thing to watch First Run Movies when they come out.
