The digital copy codes that get upgraded to HD through DMA doesn't give extras because it's stays under Paramount rather than Marvel like the store versions.

They don't.

Anything worthwhile in the extras for those?

Not really. FIRST AVENGER's iTunes Extras are better than THOR's though. The only Marvel film worth while in the iTunes Extras department is the original IRON MAN.

Posting the latest studio policies in this thread for future reference. Thanks Minister_x for providing...

- Fox = iTunes HD on big releases (only recently, though - previously they had SD iTunes if at all)
- Paramount = iTunes HD on most releases (since 2013)
- Sony = UV only
- Universal = iTunes HD (since 2013)
- Warner = UV only

Very strange, it seems like all WWE content (Movies/TV Shows) have been removed from the iTunes Store. Music is still available.

I saw that the other day as well. It really made my mind up for when I was thinking of getting more stuff. Hopefully it's back soon

Could just be the licences ran until Dec 31st 2014 and they've not been renewed fully yet. Loads of MGM titles disappeared in early 2014 but then reappeared 2-3 weeks later.

The other possibility is that whoever was the distributor no longer has the licences, although I imagine that's less likely for something as popular as WWE.

When you buy a movie bundle from iTunes but you already own one of the movies included in the bundle, do you end up with a duplicate of that movie ?

Or is it absorbed into one ?

It just overwrites the version you had with the better of the two.

In other words, if you had in SD then it replaces it with HD. If your HD copy didn't have extras then you get them. If its the same then its just a basic overwrite.

I have LOTR extended editions, redeemed them many years ago from the blu ray and they were in SD, should they have been upgraded to HD? My Independence Day was SD And is now HD.

Do any iTunes Stores have a place to send suggestions on movies? I've notice the US store has a movie that I would love to own here in CAN and I don't know if Canadian iTunes can make that movie available here.

No.

And check your Independence Day, again. iTunes has been dropping/switching back titles that they have been downgrading such titles, especially if they originated from XML.

Actually my LOTR movies (redeemed in iTunes years ago) where upgraded to HD when MA launched.

In Captain America Civil War, are the the iTunes Extras in the Choose Your Side sections a collection of extras missing from the previous Captain America & Iron Man movies and nothing to do with Civil War at all?

Also, has The Flight of the Phoenix ever ever been available on the Irish or UK iTunes Store?

I have a memory of such an option being available in the feedback page for the iTunes Store but I can't swear as to whether that memory is accurate.

No harm in suggesting the addition of the movie via a feedback message though.

Only way to get a response though is to contact the distributor that is listed on the movie page and ask if they hold the Canadian rights. That is how I have done it lately for movies with missing iTunes Extras. I have received 3 responses out of 7 messages but you won't get any at all from iTunes I think.

No, doesn't look like it. It's only ever been available in US and Canada.

Thanks but how are you sure it wasn't just removed at some point ?

My Extended Editions did too, but I assumed that was because I had them in HD in Vudu.

[ManOfTheForest]

Does anyone have an email for Warner Bros. so that I can contact them regarding distribution on iTunes?

There are a few older movies I want to buy but they aren't available on iTunes in Ireland an the UK - they are in the US store.

I've been in touch with the UK office but apparently they neither deal with iTunes not do they have any contact information to give me.

Is there any way to pair the Siri remote with a 1st generation AppleTV without the original remote?

I may have asked this question here before.

Or even better is there a way to pair the AppleTV remote app with the 1st generation without the original remote?

Recently I have noticed duplicate movies in my iTunes Movies collection.. what is up with that

For example, I bought the 4 set of Shrek movies some time ago and now I have 2 of each....
