Aside from that and the bilingual description and Canadian ratings logos on the back, this seems to be a Lionsgate title distributed directly in Canada. No eOne or Mongrel or VVS logos.

I too was surprised at that lack of eOne on the side but the Robin Hood Blu-Ray Steelbook was the same if I’m not mistaken. I ask a few pages back but since you are a fellow Canuck. Did you get a digital code for the movie or just the game code insert? Feels like we got cheated up here

I need some help.

I've been reading the past few pages of the thread and I sold my codes on the forum. I wrote in my post that I would send the buyer hi res images of the inserts, but they think that's not enough. Could someone help me?

There is no slipcover inside the Walmart exclusive version.

Mine came with an American slip. It’s sexy.

Weird part is that I received another envelope with 3 other orders that were scheduled for yesterday, but not tis one. So annoyed.

I planned on selling my code and luckily the buyer reached out to me and warned me about this issue. (as i never use digital codes and wouldn't have figured this out on my own)


What I did was have another person record video of me scanning the hologram with the app. (i actually used a UCB-C to HDMI adapter to mirror my S9+ screen to my TV).

Then when prompted to enter an email address I entered my own email (i didnt think to enter the redeemers email, but it doesn't associate the email with any account at this step, to my knowledge).

Then when you submit the email address the code flashes for less than a second before it reroutes to a screen when you select your digital service of choice.


Then I played back the video and caught a frame where the code was visible and sent that to the buyer of my code.

I thought orders would be improved since we have the new depot in Ottawa but it’s worse.

No improvements on my end that's for sure.

It should be enough. they can scan barcode and QR off my phone as a coupon at the store. Just need to turn the phone brightness to highest. But then, they need an extra device to display the QR. Most people do have a computer.

I thought I'd break up all these code complaints with a fun VFX breakdown video from Method Studios

For those wondering what the inside of the WM version looks like. The 4K case has no separate slipcover and is not wrapped, just has a sticker on top.

I was going to wait to get this, but the coin looked pretty cool. It will probably still be around later but you never know.

Something that I found interesting with this release was the huge disparity in stock between the UHD and the Blu-ray. I ended up going to 3 different Best Buys yesterday, and each one had easily 5x more Blu-rays. I know that it's still the better selling and more adopted format, but I'm just not used to it being so obvious like it was with this release.

I got the last one at the WM I went to...and that was well before lunch time.

Yeah, I picked up mine after work yesterday and they had 4 copies including mine. In previous years the WM exclusives have shown up on BF (Like say, hunger games with the necklace) but I didnt want to risk it.

I successfully sold the code Thanks to the directions in this thread, but LG certainly doesnt make it easy. Had to use the app with one hand while using my camcorder in the other hand and then freeze framing the code. I hope they get enough complaints to decide it's a bad idea.

Pretty sure the reason they're doing this is to discourage the sales of digital codes.

Im sure that's the intent, but then why do they show the real code at all then? I mean, besides the fact that the app is horribly designed to begin with.

Beyond people like me selling codes though, theres a lot of complaints of people not being able to redeem at all. App has a 1.6 at the play store right now.

[Creasy47]

Garbage app and ridiculous workaround to get that code but it finally worked for me and the (incredibly patient) guy I was selling it to. What a nightmare, though, and it still doesn't even stop people from being able to resell the codes like I'm sure they hoped.

[NotASpeckOfCereal]

Here's my thing: in addition to all being said about how LAME it is to have to download an app just to get the Digital Copy that you paid for, I have this:

• One thing I have not seen mentioned is the potential security of having to download their VIP app. It isn't just a pain, it may very well NOT BE ALLOWED on the computer you use.
• Some people still don't have their own computer (*gasp*, yes it's true). HOWEVER, they are probably not much interested in the small number of people without home computers that would still use the digital code (on Vudu, which would be valid for anyone on a road trip that has a smart TV in their hotel room).
• Using the movieredeem dot com manual redeem method (which does not currently work) requires an email address. That's LAME.
• With the manual redeem method, just try to un-check the "I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT LIONSGATE AND ITS AFFILIATES' PROPERTIES" option. You cannot opt out of their spam.

When I was at the retailer, I clearly saw the price. And on the cover, there is a list of what product was promised for that money exchange, which is:

1. 4K Ultra HD
2. Blu-ray
3. Digital

So to get the product #3 promised on the cover, I must submit to receiving email from Lionsgate (yes, I understand that you can probably opt out later), and I must download and install an application (which presents a security risk and may be prohibited on the computer I use, if I even have a computer at my disposal) to actually receive product #3.

That is all, as we Americans like to say, quite BUNK.

To add on to above, the app also crashed (at least for me) until I allowed location. Probably to ensure you are in the US (which, can be spoofed anyway...), but really, that's rather intrusive just for a movie code.
