Do you redeem your digital copy codes?

[ilovebluraydiscs229]

I never do. But sometimes I wonder if I should. On the one hand, I have the blu ray so why do I need a bunch of digital versions on a hard drive that I never touch?

But on the other hand, you never know if one day companies will go all in on streeeeaaaaming, and put an end to all purchasable media- digital copies included. In this case I would regret not backing up all my movies and tv shows.

What say you?

Yes, and there's a forum for it:

I sell 'em to have more money to buy more Blus/UHDs...

[lethalkrs]

I redeem them, my son watches most stuff on his TV streaming through his xbox. I stream quite a bit unless I can really take advantage of the TV and Atmos, basically when the wife isn't trying to sleep! (Family room and our bedroom area have connecting walls)

[DukeTogo84]

I just sell them here.

I redeem some, mostly the stuff younger kids in my family would watch... but not many. I will never buy a digital only thing, but I do see how getting a bonus digital version would be convenient if you're away or just are being lazy about putting a movie in and then putting it back up lol

To be fair, unless you're doing the iTunes version and downloading it, it's just in the cloud not on a hard drive.

I redeem them. I liked the Bluray/DVD combo packs back in the day so I could watch anywhere (hotels and some places still don't have Bluray players). Now that streaming is surpassing DVD, codes are now my portable solution in their place.

Wait... forgive my ignorance, but are all the codes redeemable on iTunes for downloadable copies?

[HD Goofnut]

Yep, because I can access Movies Anywhere or VUDU no matter where I am.

[Ricky G]

redeem. I like being able to share the movies I have with my family so they can watch them whenever they please. Meanwhile, I use my awesome discs at home without having to have my family borrow my copies and potentially mess up the disc/packaging. Win win!

[A Tortured Duckling]

Nope. I give 'em away.

You could make money off of those.

[hudson4k]

I don't get that many digital codes because I mostly buy from independent labels like VS, but when I do get them, I redeem them. I should start selling them though.

[TripleHBK]

Nope. I give away some and sell the rest.

[Michael24]

Nope. I toss them out after opening the case.

Since I started selling codes about nine years ago, I've made a couple THOUSAND dollars back, and that buys a whole lotta new movies, often with codes of their own... Trust me, they add up. I spent probably $250 on Black Friday purchases last year, and over half of that I got back in my Paypal account by selling the codes.

May as well be...

Redeem. Having movies downloaded to the iPad has been pretty handy when the power's out.

I do rip my 4K UHD and Blu-ray discs to 1:1 MKV (minus foreign audio tracks) for full quality local streaming. Alas, my PC'S quite anemic and I haven't really had the chance to find proper conversion settings for mobile (balance between speed, quality and file size).

[infiniteCR]

I throw them away to ensure they don't get redeemed

[xGrumpx]

I throw em away, I would give them away on here but now that I know someone would probably sell them for profit in the trash they go.
