Is HBO Still Releasing Digital Codes For Verified Blu-Ray Purchases? - Blu-ray Forum

TheLaughingMann · 06-18-2018, 04:49 PM

I just got a couple of HBO shows recently on Blu-Ray that had UV releases packed in later.

Since it's 2018 and I know they did this process before, is it still active and valid?

owenstar · 06-24-2018, 07:37 AM

I was able to get one (within last 2 months) for Rome i had bought years ago on amazon. I want to try for deadwood, but didnt want to press my luck.

Smadawho · 07-04-2018, 03:32 PM

I was able to get Rome, Deadwood, Entourage and Band of Brothers, all purchased on blu YEARS ago

Doesn't hurt to ask

I'm fascinated by this idea, as I own both "Band Of Brothers" from the original release, as well the complete series of "Rome", but I imagine you will need to provide a receipt?

I believe both series were purchased by me on WBShop, which has since gotten rid of my order history.

A few I know, but of the following titles, which of these have had re-releases with digital copies:

Band Of Brothers
Bored To Death: First Season
How To Make It In America: First Season
How To Make It In America: Second Season
John Adams
Rome: The Complete Series
The Sopranos: First Season

To my knowledge, "Band Of Brothers" and "Rome" has. "The Sopranos" has as part of the complete series, but not as a season set? The others haven't at all, correct?

do you need just photos of your bluray or the receipt too?

Photographic proof of ownership was all that was required. I did write a long message on the help site at hbodigital about how as an early adopter I felt I was getting less value by paying more then someone now who bought the item at a reduced rate but received the content on additional mediums to enjoy.

Based on thread, I requested HBO to provide me with digital codes for the HBO complete series I've purchased. Namely:

John Adams
Band of Brothers
The Pacific
Deadwood

They responded that 'John Adams' and 'The Pacific' didn't have a digital release by HBO.

Quote:

Unfortunately The Pacific is not available for digital copy redemption through HBO. We regret any inconvenience caused.

They asked for proof-of-purchase for both 'Band of Brothers' and 'Deadwood'. This was in the form of photos of the outside and everything included with each set. Which I provided.

Today they replied back with codes for each of the series.

Thanks for the thread, I would have never thought to contact them with out it!

I knew "John Adams" hadn't, though I submitted a picture of the set with a picture of my e-mail address just in case I was wrong (along with a photo beside several other series like "Bored To Death", "How To Make It In America", etc.), but I did manage to get codes for "Rome", "The Sopranos", several seasons of "True Blood", and "Band Of Brothers".

I could have sworn "The Pacific" was released with a digital copy, but looking at Blu-ray.com, that's apparently correct.

I'm jealous of those of you with "Deadwood" and "Entourage" sets too.

odisn · 07-26-2018, 03:25 PM

Dang! I need to do this for my copy of Band of Brothers, too.

pythonis · 08-17-2018, 12:32 PM

A lot of those are on Amazon Prime video (if youre a member)

Sayonara808 · 08-23-2018, 06:07 PM

I brought Deadwood the complete series from BB back in Dec 2017. I thought I saw that it would come with Digital codes. Just opened it a few days ago & no codes in the box set.

IndyMLVC · 08-23-2018, 06:08 PM

Really wish they would join MA for their movies.

Bad_Deal_Assassin · 02-27-2019, 12:26 AM

Updating to say this still works, I was able to get digital copies of Band of Brothers and the complete series of Rome. Thanks.

Chedwiggen · 02-27-2019, 12:37 AM

Anyone know if they'll give you a code for Generation Kill?

DVD Josh · 02-27-2019, 12:49 AM

Do you just send through the support link at the bottom of the page?

As far as I know, the caveat is the series has to have been re-released w/ a digital copy since you bought it. Now, Generation Kill is another HBO show I have on blu-ray and I did do a quick search to discover if it would be eligible or not but wasn't able to find any re-releases with a DC. However, I could have missed something as my search wasn't very thorough.

Also, maybe this thread could be of help to you: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=265595
