Are the UPC codes different than the retail version?

yes the upc's are different

After entering my DMR points and didn't get access to DMA, I'd called the customer support number listed in the OP in "New Disney Digital Service" thread (855-347-3722) . The cast member took my number and a technical support person called me back. He was able to add Frozen to my DMA account which then linked to iTunes.

All Disney preorders have either had a Walmart presell fulfilment version without DC codes, or in the case of MU, the retail combo pack without DC sent. If Walmart ran out of the presell stock to send, then they would send the retail versions.

Not only are the printed UPCs are different, but there is no iTunes logo and the 6 digit SKU on the side of the case/slipcover is different.

For other studios, normally the retail version is sent but I rarely do Vudu preorders.

I saw the version from the Walmart pre-order at friends place and noticed that the cover and slip cover both say "Blu-Ray + DVD +Digital HD Copy", but there was also a little blue sticker that said something like, "Digital copy waiting for you on Vudu". He hadn't opened it since he was going to be giving to someone as a gift.

walking dead season 4 comes with the CD and a bonus disc blu is 39.96 and dvd is 34.96 - the cards are for sale however unredeemable until april 1st

Hastings (for those who live close to one) has a Anchorman 2 preorder. Redemption for early access is thru ParamountMovies.com, and you pick up the movie in store after release day. The Walmart preorder is probably still better, but at least there's hope in the future of more stores offering early digital access + BD prepurchases.

Jack Ryan $22.96
Noah $22.96
Divergent

All were at my Wal-Mart this morning. Jack Ryan and Noah do not need activation at the register, but Divergent does. There were no price tags for Divergent.

why is this important who cares if they need activation at the register, and people wonder why they come later than expected - i prefer the ones activated at the register, why ? i get them 6 days before release date

Some people steal these so for those cheap people who can't buy them, i am letting people know Divergent can't be stolen.

Any bonuses with them?

Also if anyone goes in, could you scan them to see if there are first day unposted discounts on them?
(thanks)

Divergent was $24.96 and that is the only one I bought. My store had no walking dead out yet. Not sure I want to pay $22.96 for Jack Ryan or Noah (which my store did have). Will make a decision on those after I see what regular retail is going to be for Jack Ryan and after I see Noah in the theater.

I was hoping they'd come with movie cash given how early they're out

The Noah pre order also comes with a digital copy of Beowulf. The card said that you get the Beowulf DC now and Noah weeks before its release. My store didn't have the other two.

I guess Walmart isn't going to have a preorder for The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug.

special note:

whomever bought Noah and/or Jack Ryan from ebay or another source I would wait to enter them if I were you - if you tried to buy them like me you will know why

what happened with Noah and Jack Ryan

They are not updated in the Vudu database yet, so you are uanble to redeem the item. If they have not fixed it yet, i assume that it will work 4/1.

Walking Dead is set to come out to stores on 4/1 as well with a price tag of $39.96.

Walking Dead Season 4 will come with DVD + Blu Ray + Digital Copy + Soundtrack per Wal-Mart 4/1 ad.
