Any free UHD works for me. Thanks for the heads up. And they look pretty interesting.

Cool, now I'll at least have some test material for when I'm equipped for that. Wondering if the free TV episodes will ever be in UHD?

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes

VUDU is also having a fanboy sale of sorts:

http://www.vudu.com/movies/#uiList/69/0

The only thing that really appealed to me was the RWBY bundle at $14.99. but there might be some good stuff for the rest of you.

Ooooh, didn't see this one but here is a 8 Marvel Animated Film bundle also at $14.99:

Edit: Note, the last one, all 8 discs are available on disc to digital. I'll probably do that (I own all of them on Blu-ray I believe but I'll double check) and add a couple of titles. But its still a great option for those who don't have the dedication I do

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes

Vudu has added "Vudu Extras" to a lot of movies. It's stuff like documentaries, featurettes, deleted scenes, gag reels, etc. On the movie page, you'll see it above "Cast & Crew", "Reviews", "Similar". Looks like it's mostly on new releases. I couldn't find any on older catalog titles.

Here's a few titles I found with Vudu Extras:

Divergent
The Divergent Series: Allegiant (but not on Insurgent)
Everybody Wants Some!!
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
The Brothers Grimsby
10 Cloverfield Lane
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
Eddie the Eagle
Zootopia
Gods of Egypt
Kung Fu Panda 3
Dirty Grandpa
Deadpool
Ride Along 2
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 (but none of the other HG movies)
Daddy's Home
Sisters
The Revenant
The Peanuts Movie
The Other Side of the Door

Looks like they also added Vudu Extras for all the old Star Trek movies (TOS & TNG, not the remakes).

It's not often that a huge company provides extras like this to past sales, so I'm very happy! I hope it keeps coming!

According to Jake (VUDU Engineering) on the Vudu Forum:

"VUDU Extras" is a replacement for the "+ Bonus Features" bundles. Over time all of the existing "bonus featurettes" bundles will be replaced with the VUDU Extras tab to simplify the experience.

That's excellent news. Now if they could only figure out how to add commentaries at some point.

Vudu needs to start offering multiple audio tracks and optional subtitles. Right now, movies with multiple audio tracks have a listing for each one. And all subtitles are burned in. For example, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo has two versions.

http://www.vudu.com/movies/#!content...Dubbed-Version
http://www.vudu.com/movies/#!content...iginal-Version

Maybe it's a limitation with their video codec. But they need to get that fixed. iTunes kicks their ass in that department. When you buy a foreign film on iTunes, you get all the available audio/subtitle options.

For those that are interested - VUDU is selling the digital/disc edition of Batman:The Killing Joke for $17.96. It's actually cheaper to get both than spending the $19.99 for just the HDX version. FYI.

Nice, I have BvS and John Wick. The Wick ones are quite decent, 6 featurettes.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes

The Tarantino Collection (Kill Bill 1+2, Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, Dusk Til Dawn, and Reservoir Dogs) is $14.99 for the month of August starting today:

http://www.vudu.com/movies/#!content...lection-Bundle

Not much else unfortunately, was hoping that the Mortal Kombat bundle would be under $10 but I don't need it at $10.99.

BTW, general word of warning VUDU has flipped their options. SD now appears at the top and HDX is at the bottom of the selections. So take an extra second and be sure you know what you are clicking on. Don't say I didn't warn you .

Last thing, I am now over 200 movies digitally. Yeahie! (I'm sure the rest of you are 500/1000 though).

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes

how come Vudu only does some extras for some movies? why not more? like The Lobster has a 20+ min featurette on the Bluray. how come they can't include that on the extras for the digital copy? just wondering what gets them and what doesn't...

Well all digital codes don't provide extras, it's just the streaming service that does - usually as an exclusive. I'm not a fan and could care less I guess. Though it is nice that Vudu is doing this now. Now if they only start dropping the price of 4K movies from $29.99.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes

anyone know if there is a return policy for unopened Bluray purchased through the disc + digital program? will Walmart take it back and refund money? i know i would be getting away with a free digital copy if possible, so not sure if it is a likely scenario...
