soooo....the "magic code" that you get with this gives you both the Movie Rewards points AND unlocks the digital copy? I guess if I want to sell the digital copy, then I'm gonna also be giving up the reward points then huh??

Technically, the legalese says you're not allowed to sell either the code or the digital copy, but that's between you and Disney's legal department. You can redeem the movie reward code without redeeming the digital copy. I have no idea what will happen if you redeem it and then someone else tries to use the code for the digital copy, of course. I suspect a S.W.A.T. team will descend upon both of you simultaneously and take you into custody.

Re: Toy Story 3 - November 2, now up for pre-order
Did anyone buy the Trilogy set? Can somebody post the picture of inside the box?
I didn't pick up the first 2 movies because I wanted a nice boxset (i'm a sucker for good packaging
), but when I saw the set today at best buy, it looked cheap and felt light. So I wanted to see the inside before purchasing. Does it include individual case and slipcover or does it not even have any cases at all? If it's too cheaply made then I want to buy it individually.

Someone had posted a link to an unboxing video on Amazon. It may have been in the Bluray.com forums. Anyway, horrible packaging for the trilogy set. Individual releases are the way to go for this.

I want to thank the DVDTalk gang for all the support and knowledge you have shared over the years with me and others.
It has been a blast to read post and review on many different topics, some have made me laugh, some have made me get upset.
One of my fav posts are ways to save money:
1. $8 dollars off TS3 - $16.99 + Tax (did you know they tax on the pre-coupon price?) is a great deal for my fav movie of the year.
2. $2 off "Sound of Music" from printcoupon.com, then open the case before you leave the store and go to the Sevice Counter and get another $3 cash back.
Learned the above and many other things from this forum, you guys rock.
Looking forward to Christmas, so I can open and watch TS3 all day long.
Thanks and have a good day!

Anyone else a little disappointed to realize your 4-disc combo-pack has too many discs to transfer over into your 3-disc ironbook?
Never had an issue on the other "steel/iron" books from BB.........

Re: Toy Story 3 - November 2, now up for pre-order
A few days after I bought mine I went to another BB and they were all sold out. I don't think so.
I bought the Buzz.
The discs are in a removable holder that goes on Buzz's back. The discs are stacked on the inside.
So, there had to be a catch, or a money-saving method with the figure, and there is. It's weirder and more distracting than I could have imagined. Buzz is, well...anorexic!
Even the helmet is squished. Very distracting, and twice as odd as the arms and legs are "full size". As for the wings, I thought they might not come out at all, but they do, they're just severely clipped:
It looks nice enough straight on, though, and I put the discs in the steelbook, so he's not going to get unpacked anytime soon. With the $8 coupon and the $7 back I got for getting a refund on my Best Buy pre-order, it wasn't that expensive either, so no regrets.

Thats cool that the price worked out pretty good for you though.

At least Buzz has some dimension to him. That's a step forward from poor Optimus Prime. Personally, I think the only one of these character cases that's been done well is the U.S.S. Enterprise, but then it's a lot easier when there's a disc shape built into the original design.

My local BB (Ft Smith, AR) accepted that phone code coupon, 1242489 (I printed it out) and the $8 manufacturers coupon without issue.
$9.50 plus tax for the Toy Story 3 4-Disc Blu Ray...
Luck all,
George

Guess I'm a little late to the party. Any chance of still being able to pick up the Ironpack and Blu-Ray at a nearby Best Buy, or were these sold exclusively online?

Re: Toy Story 3 - November 2, now up for pre-order
Hmmmm.....I sold the DVD w/DC (and unused code) to someone online, and put my Blus in the BB IronPack. While the DC was part of the deal, I want my DMR points, so I wrote down the code to get 'em. Do you think this will screw up the buyer if he tries to activate his DC???
I sell the Reward Points to a friend and sell the DC on eBay. Never had a problem with the many I've done since 2008.

Check for your store location here and select in-store pick-up, so they find it for you, instead of having to hunt for it on the shelves.

Re: Toy Story 3 - November 2, now up for pre-order
Anyone else notice a severe sound quality issue with the short "Day & Night" on the Blu-Ray version? I played my copy today and the volume on the short is way louder than TS3. It's super distorted at a normal listening level. I also checked the DVD version and the levels seem normal. I'm just wondering if this is isolated to my copy or if it's a widespread defect.

I got my points, I just hope the DC registration is a separate process that doesn't tie-in to my DMR account.
