And how do you REALLY feel about digital copies?

Personally, my belief is this: Since you need to enter the code into the computer and have the computer verify that code via the internet anyhow, these Digital Copies should be a downloadable file instead of a disc. They add to the manufacturers shipping charges by adding weight to the package. They also add A TON to landfill sites since 90% of people buying them will never use them anyways.

If I'm gonna watch a film, I'm gonna watch it in high quality large video & surround sound presentation... not on a 3" screen with mono audio!

I always just thought of them as an excuse to mark up the price.

I love digital copies. I don't have a blu-ray player in every room but I can take my laptop wherever I go. I think they are a nice little extra that allows me more freedom to watch the movie.

I find them extremely useful. I only have one blu-ray player and it's set up in the livingroom, if I wanted to watch it in my bedroom I would be out of luck without the digital copy. I can easily stream it from my laptop, either through it's hdmi or flawlessly to an xbox 360. I think you guys just get mad they didn't give us a actual DVD instead.

I would gladly take all of your digital copies, just send them to me

Anyone who would "run out and buy" a Blu-Ray movie to get the digital copy so that they could use it on an mp3 player are....well not very intelligent.

But if you look at the fact that most movies with a digital copy aren't any higher than movies without a digital copy, you might think differently.

To me, it's just a feature added. And, when I do buy an iTouch or Windows Mobile device, I may actually load all of my digital copies onto it for travel. Of course, if they're time sensitive, I'll just get with technical support or give the studio a call and tell them that I paid for it and they need to give it to me. I'm sure they will ablige.

I have no problems with digicopies.

I use them and I listen to them at my office when I don't feel like listening to music.

[neos_peace]

I have to agree with both sides on this one. I have about 8-9 DC on my laptop, and have actually never used them at all. About everyday I think about just delelting them form my HD, but then aI think what if one day I decide to use it then I'm screwed. Then I think, well, I could just get an external HD and use that for my DC. But then, I think, .......well you know where I'm going with all this. However I hate watching my movie's on a smal screen. thats why I have my HT. That is slowly growing bigger. SO Yea I can see both sides of the story here. I'm not impressed if it doesn't but not impressed if it does. It's not a major seling point for me.

I love digital copies.

I cannot count the number of times I have been in line for some reason or another, or waiting for something, when I have pulled out my iTouch and proceeded to watch a movie.

Love the envious glances from people who wish they had a movie to watch while they wait

[Atreyu]

I do not personally use the digital copies that come in with the blus for the same reason I don't use the standard dvds that come in with some of the blus. The picture quality. But I can understand some people like these items and if I'm not going to be charged more for that being put in, so the ones who do enjoy them can, than ok.

This.

They only issue I have with digital copies is that without the internet they are useless. Just giving us code to download the movie would be good enough.

I love them because I sell them on eBay. It kinda gives me a discount on the blu-ray. I normally sell them for around $4 and people buy them.

[Blu-ray Fanatic]

So how long does it take for digital copies to expire after buying them?
