I need to check my meager DVD collection against this I think -- nm - oblique Apr 30, 18:37 1
- Once you have upgraded your collection, sell the discs to Abundatrade. - David Apr 30, 18:47
once, you know, they get all the major digital online players to accept the app -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 30, 17:54 8
- I don't know who has it and who doesn't, but I have access through all 3 tvs plus the iPad. So, we're in overkill territory. -- nm - David Apr 30, 18:13 7
  - Our Blu-Ray player doesn't, which sucks. -- nm - TFox Apr 30, 18:36 2
    - FWIW, you can find one that does for $80 or so. -- nm - David Apr 30, 18:40 1
      - We will as soon as Jacen breaks the tray off the current one. - TFox Apr 30, 18:51
  - does the roku have it? what about apple tv (heh, yeah right) -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 30, 18:17 3
    - Roku, no. Xbox yes. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Apr 30, 18:26
    - I'm not sure and I'll never know. All things being equal, I prefer access straight through the tv. -- nm - David Apr 30, 18:19 1
      - true, but my tv doesnt do that, and i have a roku. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 30, 18:42
Is it up and running already? -- nm - spamlet Apr 30, 17:53 2
- Yes although a lot of Wal-Mart employees have no idea how to do it. - David Apr 30, 18:09 1
  - nows the time to take advantage of them and get a bunch for free before thye figure it out! -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 18:09
Rats, we just got the blu-ray of it a few weeks ago. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 30, 17:52 11
- Take it in to Walmart with $2, get it in HD on Vudu. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 30, 18:00 10
  - i thought it was $5 for HD, regardless -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 30, 18:01 9
    - $5 to turn a DVD into HD digital, $2 to turn Blu-Ray into HD digital. -- nm - David Apr 30, 18:09 7
      - So I take my regular About a Boy DVD to Wal-Mart with a fiver, and when the BluRay is release next month... I get that digitally? -- nm - Qale Apr 30, 18:18 5
        
        Clarifying... - David Apr 30, 18:21 4
        
        until 3 years from now when they cancel the service and you lose everything. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 30, 18:37 2
        
        My sunny optimism will yet win the day. -- nm - David Apr 30, 18:39 1
        
        i love the idea, i just hate that they wont give in and let people have digital copies to keep. - tRuMaN Apr 30, 18:41
        
        Well that's interesting... Even more amusing when I recall that Vudu was one of those accounts someone opened using my email address. - Qale Apr 30, 18:24
      - (We had 23 done for $46.) -- nm - David Apr 30, 18:09
    - The PCMag article says $2 for like-to-like, $5 to upgrade. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 30, 18:03
