I opened one and it has the slip with the code, so i assumed the others have it as well.

If the 6 digit spine code is 120592, it doesn't matter if it says Collector's Edition along with whether the slipcover mentions Digital HD. If the DMR insert doesn't mention Digital HD anywhere near the code, it will likely not redeem for DMA access or DC+.

Unfortunately this isn't completely unexpected, as the preorder states the Digital Copy is only accessible thru Vudu only. That's why the slipcover doesn't have the iTunes logo, since you already have the digital copy in your Vudu account.

You have the Digital HD copy already---in your VUDU. You don't get a 2nd DC+ code with the VUDU preorder.

hmmmm..... just a question never did this but what if a person orders 5 from the same account - would 4 be sent with the DC then i do not know how that would work ....

My issue is with no DMA access to frozen due to walmart vudu peorder is other movies that were digital copy + where DMR was entered still give you the DMA access even though you redeemed code thru vudu or other service. So technically disney movies are not all in the same service as what DMA was intended.

Most likely not since they typically send a specific lot out. Even with the UV studios, the Vudu in-store orders have a sticker UPC since those copies (even if they are the same retail versions) are meant for filling the Vudu preorders.

Unless Vudu ran out of the preorder editions to send, then they would send the retail versions (reportedly this has happened with The Lone Ranger).

Saw a preorder card for Divergent and it was for the bluray combo pack. This price was $29.96

That makes sense.

5 different Vudu account [to clarify, sorry].

Well, with 5 different Vudu accounts, that doesn't change anything, as that means you have 5 Vudu Digital copies (1 in each account). Unless you are lucky to get the retail edition sent, I doubt your codes will work for DMA or Digital Copy+.

Also, for future Disney preorders thru Vudu/Walmart, I recommend checking the Disc Registration section of DMR to see if there's a Walmart Presell edition being made for the movie preordered (or any other version being made). Probably should have done that myself before redeeming the code. Oh well.

Did you get the Walmart presell version of lone ranger?

Nope, but that's why I am able find it listed. Only titles not in your DMR account show up in disc registration. When you enter a DMR code, it registers the copy. Disc registration is another way you can register your discs.

Release date for the preorder is set for 3/25 at Walmart

[disneywildcat]

No. The DMR code from the Walmart/Vudu preorder only provides DMR points, and doesn't provide access to DMA.

Here's a picture of both inserts. The left comes from the Walmart/Vudu order. The right came from Target.



However, I entered my Target DMR code into my account (which I had also entered the Vudu preorder DMR code) and it not only unlocked DMA, but also gave me 150 points. So I think it will still work as long as it is a different SKU with a Digital Copy. And if there's ever a 3D release with a digital copy, that should work too as 3D Blu-ray would be considered a different format.

Picked up the following:

47 Ronin Blu Ray combo pack was cheaper than ad for $18.96
(enter by 3/27 receive on release date)

Wolf of Wall Street Blu ray combo pack also cheaper for $19.96

(the bottom says RECEIVE on or around the release date)

Ok, I'm a little confused. So does the one from Walmart pre-order come with DMR+iTunesDC AND Vudu/Amazon/iTunes options or does it only have DMR+iTunes & NO Vudu?

Also if it's different from the Retail version are the UPC codes different or any way to distinguish them?

Wow, points only and no digital copy, that's a bummer. I thought I read somewhere that a pre-order of another movie (can't remember which one) not only came with a early release Vudu copy, but you also got full code with Blu-Ray they mail you. Was hoping that Frozen would be the same way.

Are the UPC codes different than the retail version?
