your first UV movie

[supaet]

With the upcoming UV shut down, let's share the memories of our first UV movie!

Mine was Resident Evil: after life, obtained on Jan 2, 2011
it was from blu-ray steelbook purchased at Walmart, the code is on a sticker outside the plastic wrap. It only redeemed as SD on VUDU.

I didn't think I could remember but then it all came back to me. I would occasionally redeem codes in iTunes with no real intentions of ever watching them. Green Lantern came out and came with this new kind of code that could be redeemed at a place called Vudu which upset people who then complained until WB offered to exchange their codes for iTunes codes. iTunes was the only thing I knew so I also requested and received an exchange. After that I would give my UV codes away on here until I figured out that Vudu could be a good way of sharing my movies with one of my older nephews. When I figured out the whole UV family sharing I made an account and had my sister, and two nieces sign up as well. With my movies sharing with pretty much all of my family I really started getting into digital especially with disc 2 digital (guess which movie was one of the first conversions I did, lol). I continue to buy physical but the whole reason I got into digital was for sharing.

First UV movie was The Dark Knight that I did via D2D on VUDU. D2D was truly amazing, and the main reason I got into digital copies in the first place.

I think it was the comedy five pack with Austin Powers, Kung Pow, Ed, Mr. Deeds, and Naked Gun 3.

Cloverfield & Fury. Those sat in my locker by themselves, lonely and unused, for 3 years until I got tired of Netflix a couple of years ago. I went looking for an alternative and stumbled on D2D. I pulled out a couple of hundred unused codes in my blu-rays and went to town. I now have 2,200 movies and 200 tv shows and no other streaming service.

I looked at my account, and it seems to be 4 movies that I did at the same time to start up my account:
Blues Brothers
Dredd
Drive
Pillow Talk

[Dustin44]

I think it was actually Leprechaun (1993), which I used Vudu credits on. (I think it was only $4.99 and I used a $5 Vudu credit to get it for free).

When I signed up, Vudu was giving you 5 free movies to choose from at the time, just for signing up for Vudu.

It was a limited selection, of course, but I ended up getting:

Blair Witch 2
Carriers
Independence Day
Paranormal Activity
Psycho (1998)


EDIT: Actually I went back and looked at my UV account and sorted it by purchase date and I have a few that I added from codes that were even older.

It looks like my first UV movies were actually:

21 Jump Street
Drive
Paranormal Activity 3
The Thing (2011)

[BlurayX]

I'm late in the game. All my blu-ray digital codes went unredeemed for years.

My first UV via VUDU code redemption is Skyfall (2012) last 12/20/2017.

Mine was Horrible Bosses on 10/11/11. I think I got Crazy Stupid Love before this one, but I think that was one that redeemed in SD that I deleted when it was fixed to HD.

[starsteam]

Prometheus. I bought that Walmart pre-order empty Blu-ray case which redeemed a digital copy and had the physical Blu-ray shipped to me. I think I started redeeming digital codes from my collection not long after that.

[donzo29]

I know that I redeemed a few the first day I signed up.
Prometheus
Looper
Hunger Games
Tin Tin
Moonrise Kingdom
Cowboys and Aliens
Jaws
Hugo
ET
To Kill a Mockingbird
Hanna
The Blues Bros.
Zero Dark Thirty
and Skyfall

[RBBrittain]

I got 10 free SD titles when I signed up for Vudu on February 23, 2013 (all but one later upgraded to HDX):
Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (Unrated)
Valentine's Day
Soul Survivors (still in SD)
Psycho (1998)
The Producers (2005)
The Perfect Storm
Paranormal Activity (Theatrical)
Ghost
Behind Enemy Lines
Away From Her

The same day, I also got a signup bonus from Flixster Video for Blow (later upgraded to HDX at Vudu).

I also redeemed the following from codes in HD/HDX that day:
The Amazing Spider-Man (Sony)
Argo (Flixster Video; later upgraded to UHD at Vudu)
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (Universal)
The Artist (Sony)
The Dark Knight Rises (Flixster Video)
Lawrence of Arabia (Sony)
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (Paramount)
Skyfall (Vudu)
The Smurfs (Sony)
Sparkle (2012) (Sony)

Dolphin Tale back in 2011 from a friend who bought the blu... still never actually watched it.

[GD2J]

On 1/3/2014, I had some sort of promo that gave me SD versions of:

Dangerous Liaisons [SD]
A Mighty Wind [SD]
Pay it Forward [SD]

Never watched any of them. That same day, I also started entering codes from my Blu-ray collection, and never looked back.

[jcflman]

The Big Lebowski HDX in March of 2012. Only purchase until June of 2013 with D2D.

[filmbuffTX]

June of 2016:

Gettysburg
Gods and Generals
Leprechaun: The Complete Movie Collection
Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 Double Feature

[AnemicOak]

The Hunger Games code redemption on August 21, 2012. Redeemed it because it came with the blu, so why not. Not long after I ended up with accounts everywhere you could have one and discovered Vudu D2D (miss those $1 HDX movies).

My Vudu history says my first UV titles were:

Demolition Man
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2
Underworld
Underworld: Evolution
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

which were added on 5/5/12. However, these may have originally come from Flixster or possibly CinemaNow at an earlier date. I'm unable to confirm on the MyUV site because the search and filter functions aren't working properly.

Oh wait, apparently at some point the MyUV site worked and according to my spreadsheet that I should have looked at in the first place says 1/8/12 for all of those.
