Vudu has finally added Person Of Interest: Season 1. I've had this in my UV account for months. Now I can actually watch it.

kenbuzz

Don't forget that the current half-price sale at Vudu for batch conversions of 10 or more disks is coming to an end. Until August 31st, it's still only $1 for a straight conversion (DVD -> SD, or BluRay -> HDX) and $2.50 for an upgrade conversion (DVD -> HDX)... if you convert 10 or more titles at the same time.

As of September 1st, prices return to the regular $2 and $5 points. Time to make a final push.

TGM

yeah, if I could ever get it to actually fucking work.

TheBigDave

Vudu has increased their device limit from 5 to 8 devices.

kenbuzz

Hell, I never knew there was a limit to begin with.

TheBigDave

Beauty & The Beast: Season 1 is on sale for $9.99 (HDX). Excellent price. This is only getting a DVD release, and it won't be out until October.

Elementary: Season 1 is on sale for $24.99 (HDX). That's a decent price considering this is a DVD-only release, and it's currently $28 at Amazon.

kenbuzz

Today is the final day for half-priced "batch" home conversions to Vudu. Unless an extension is (or has been) announced, prices revert to $2 for straight conversions and $5 for upgrades from DVD to HDX.

I just did my final batch yesterday:
Atlas Shrugged Part II
Brazil
Day of the Jackal
Ghostbusters
Independence Day
Kill Bill, Vol 1
Kill Bill, Vol 2
Men In Black II
Shawshank Redemption
Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows
War of the Worlds (2005)

I did a final final batch today:
Desperado
El Mariachi
Groundhog Day (*)
Labyrinth
Marathon Man
Omega Man (1971) (**)
Pulp Fiction
South Park: BLU
THX 1138
Time After Time
Trading Places

(*) I could never get the HD2D s/w to recognize my version of Groundhog Day, but the standard DVD version from the public library scanned fine. Wouldn't normally use a library copy to activate a D2D title, but since I *do* own the title already I can justify it to myself that I'm not stealing.

(**) The disk I scanned was Soylent Green. Apparently Vudu has their Charlton Heston apocalypse movies all mixed up. I let them know that the title SHOULD have been Soylent Green - I don't really mind having Omega Man in its place. If Vudu swaps that out for SG, or leaves it alone, or just comps me by adding SG to my account, I'll be happy.

musick

it was extended

and I did my 1 and only conversion today .... Mulholland Drive (my freebie)

kenbuzz

^ thanks! Now I can sit back and wait for all the stuff I want to get added get added. Hoosiers, Breaking Away, and Strictly Ballroom for starters.

SuckaMC

Hi all! I was over at the VUDU forums and folks there were reporting that a bunch of Fox titles had been added, including some corrections like A-Team Unrated and Mirrors Unrated now showing up correctly.

The big news tho, is that someone converted True Lies dvd to HDX, he said it was OAR 5.1, etc. He noted that it doesn't show up in their catalog, but it showed up when he converted the dvd. I wish I still had my dvd...

hanshotfirst1138

God, I hate supporting anything connected to Walmart, but as far as streaming goes, this looks like the best deal out there. I tried to put one of my BRs into it today, by my computer only has a DVD-ROM drive. Not only did it not convert he disc, it actually froze my computer took several hard reboots to get it working again. Probably a problem with my computer rather than the service, but disconcerting anyway. Apparently this links up with Flixster and Ultraviolet, which is cool since that's one of the few apps that the otherwise worthless wifi at my workplace doesn't block, not yet anyway. I'd imagine they have a few things you can't get on disc as yet. I'm going to hang onto physical media like a madman, but it sounds like these guys are the way of the future.

TheBigDave

Breaking Away is one of the titles that just got added to D2D. Hoosiers will be a long wait because it's MGM and none of their titles are Ultraviolet.

TheBigDave

Here's a list of new D2D titles that people have found so far:

The Passion of the Christ
X2: X-Men United
Stargate
Man on Fire
Breaking Away
MASH
Rising Sun
Knight & Day: Extended & Theatrical
Miller's Crossing
Wrong Turn
True Lies
Blazing Saddles
Machete
Epic (2013)
The Eagle: Unrated & Theatrical
Everybody Has A Plan
Scoop
Trapped In Paradise
Shame

And these titles had problems but are now fixed on D2D:

Dawn Of The Dead (2004): Unrated
Jumper
Mirrors: Unrated
A-Team: Extended

Oh cool, I'll have to update my DotD. Thanks for the heads up!

As I spent 16 years in Catholic school and have a raging guilt complex, plus my aversion to sorely digital copies, I wouldn't do this, but what's to stop someone from just picking up a DVD or Blu-Ray from their local library or borrowing it from a friend and then using Vudu to convert it to HDX? Hell, what's to stop some guy from buying a movie, redeeming the digital code, and then giving it to someone else? I can't help but think it sounds a bit dubious, and I'd have to imagine it'd make studios wary.

SuckaMC

Im guessing the logic is "$2 (or $5) is better than none" If someone who would pirate a copy pays $2-5 dollars instead, I'm sure the studios see it as a win.

Mr. Cinema

Now that True Lies has been added, I'll be tracking down a used DVD copy. I'm sick of waiting on a BD release so I'm going the HDX route.

Also, Step Brothers was previously SD only. They recently upgraded it to HDX. Still waiting on HDX versions of Superman: The Movie, Hollow Man, and the original Karate Kid.

Have you considered borrowing a copy from your local library?

TheBang

If you're not able to find one cheaply locally or at the library, I'd suggest going with gohastings.com. Currently, you can get a used copy for $1.71, plus $0.99 shipping.
