I received a 4K upgrade on Kung Fu Panda 2, oddly enough part 3 is still only HD.

I am new to buying stuff digitally but wanted to pass on some info just in case it hasn't been posted before or in a while.

I was going to watch The Keep (1983) for the Horror Challenge and just rent it at FAH since they have the 4K version. When I pulled it, it showed the 4K but showed it as an option in a 25-movie bundle for 25 bucks. Several other movies in that bundle showed the 4K versions as well and said nothing about you just getting the HD versions.

I said screw and bought the bundle thinking I would get at least the ones in 4K that showed that way. Got the bundle, tried to watch The Keep and it would only let me watch it in 4K if I rented it or paid the same amounts it was asking for when I had originally looked at renting it. I wouldn't have bought the bundle had it been more clearly stated you don't get the ones showing in 4K in that bundle and you only get them in HDX.

Luckily, they have great customer service and credited my 25 bucks back to me.

I now know for the future that unless the bundle itself states "4K", you will be getting the movies in HDX even if it shows the 4K movies in the bundle. It is very confusing and misleading in my opinion.

They have been doing that for a while now. They will throw a bundle together and it's HDX only even if all titles are UHD. Another reason I avoid buying from FaH as much as possible.

Even bundles that are available at Fanflix and FaH for the same price are UHD at Fanflix and usually HDX at FaH. It's weird.

It is impossible to navigate in the Xbox app now. With any type of list, it scrolls to the bottom.

The Walking Dead Complete Series is the deal of the day at $15.

Geez, I really have no desire to ever watch it, but at just over a dollar per season, I kind of feel like I should get it anyways.

Yeah, I shop through the Xbox app because I can cursor on a title in a list and see whether I own it or the price without having to click through. But it’s completely useless now.

As someone who watched the series and some of the spinoffs, it basically stopped being good and must see TV around season 6 or 7. Honestly if you’re not a fan, save that money for a good lunch at work or a digital movie you’ll actually watch.

Yeah but I might watch it someday, you know (at least that's how I justify everything relatively cheap, even though it will never come true)

:lol: There is a guy here who claims he has thousands of hours of shows saved for years on hard drives that he’s never watched. I mean why?

Yeah I stopped watching after Negan showed up... lost interest at that point.

I’d read the comics, but when the tiger guy showed up, I said “Why am I watching this?” and never had anything to do with the TV franchise again.

But it’s only $15!

I loved the show up until Negan showed up. I quit watching after that. What happened during his first appearance was too much for me. I asked myself, why am I watching this? and stopped. $15 is cheap, but I think I'm going to pass.

Dude you're seriously better off buying a delicious burger and fries for lunch with that money than a "cheap" TV series you'll never watch.

Same. That's also the point of the story when I had stopped reading the comic book, so it was a good place to bail out of the show, too.

You know what's funny is Negan was supposed to be so beloved and JDM people rave about, but just like you all, I dropped it once he showed up. I just lost interest. I'm curious why people rave about Negan and JDM when that is when so many people left the series.

But ya, for $15 I got it lol. At SOME point I'll finish the series. I did hear it got better in the last 1-2 seasons.

I stopped at the midpoint of season five when it felt like the show was giving characters more time just so they could kill them off. It made the show feel like a miserable watch. But still I liked some of the first few seasons...I could see myself revisiting those...so I picked it up for $15.

They reverted the Xbox app back to the previous version to get it working again.

Has anybody noticed OLD titles no longer showing up in your library? i.e. the possibility that there's a 10-15 (or so) year limit on ownership?

I am relatively confident that Ibredeemed digital codes for a half dozen movies that are not in my library. I don't track it very well, so I may be imagining it, but I'm also confident I watched them 10-odd years ago through Vudu, so it's perplexing that I 'don't' own them (any longer?), and wondered if this was a real thing.
