Blu-ray boon for digital copy

Blu-ray Disc and digital copy look to be a winning combination, with consumers accessing digital copy from recent Blu-ray releases at twice the rate as from standard DVD.

According to Warner Home Video research, consumer use of digital copies on high-definition titles is double the uptake of digital copy on standard-def versions. The uptake rate (the percentage of buyers who access the included copy) also is measurably growing among Blu-ray consumers with successive Warner releases.

"The average take rate over the one month to eight month lifespan of BD titles prior to [Dec. 9] release The Dark Knight hasn't exceeded 8%," said Dorinda Marticorena, Warner senior VP of worldwide marketing and high-def. "But on day one, The Dark Knight hit above 10%. On this title, the consumer is clearly saying that the value is here, and I'm taking advantage of it."

Digital copies suck!!!

I tried to DL the digital copy of Hellboy2 I got with my bluray version. I got it past the code, and when I pressed submit I got an error. Went back and fixed the error, and it advised that this digital copy has already been used???

some sort of problem doesn't mean digital copies suck. If you were using iTunes, you can go to report a problem and they are usually really great about allowing you to gain access to downloads that you no longer have or are able to access for some reason.

I got one with TDK Blu-ray, it's pretty cool being able to watch it on my iPod.

paskowitz6362d ago

Yeah the one with TDK works great and is really convenient. If Blu Ray does this for all future titles I will be getting a lot more BD titles.

butterfinger6300d ago

already including TDK, Hellboy II, Blow, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, The Incredible Hulk, and Wanted. I love being able to watch them all on my iPhone while I'm at work.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle35d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
