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

VUDU has a new Mix & Match deal - 5 Oscar winners for $25. That's a large number of movies to ask you to purchase but still it's a good deal if you can find five you want

Yeah, picking five out of 24 is a tall ask, and of course I already own some of them. I could’ve done two for $9.99, though.

Mine does- I checked the Dukes of Hazzard movie to see if it was in the right ratio (it was, they had a cropped version up previously) and it's in my watch list now.

The only thing that will show up are movies for sale. If a free movie is only free to watch, then you can only browse to find it. Just like items owned that are no longer for sale.

Awesome, though I'm kinda surprised that Season 3 would be in HDX, since, IIRC, they used film starting in season 4, and they had significantly lower quality for the previous seasons.

(For those worried about not having Season 1 available, only a handful of episodes from the first season still exist.)

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

I noticed something kind of bizarre in my Vudu account a few weeks back, and I'm wondering if this is happening to anybody else.

I bought a Blu-ray of The Wild Bunch a few years back, and since it had a UV digital copy code in it, I redeemed it.

A few weeks ago, I noticed that an SD version of The Wild Bunch was showing up in "My Vudu" as having been a very recent purchase. Worried that, for some reason, my HDX version had been downgraded to an SD version, I searched through "My Vudu" and found that the HDX version was still there. So where did the SD version come from? I didn't think a whole lot more about it until I went to check to see if I had anything showing in my account balance yesterday, and there was "Own The Wild Bunch [SD]" showing up in my account history. And then I noticed that it had been "redeemed" nine more times, stretching back to January 24th. I immediately sent Vudu an email to check up on it.

I hadn't received a reply from my Vudu inquiry as of a few minutes ago, so I went in to check if maybe they'd responded in the app and not via email...and The Wild Bunch has shown up as having been redeemed again today. That's a total of 11 redemptions of the SD version of The Wild Bunch that I had nothing to do with. I checked to see the turnaround time from the other times that I had emailed Vudu; one time it took them eight days to get back to me, and the other time that I had a question it took them twelve days to reply. I also checked to make sure that nothing was being deducted from my credit card on file, and it seems to have been left unmolested.

So, since I'm not expecting an answer from Vudu this week, I figured that I'd ask here: is anyone else having this happen in your account?

Doesn’t VUDU have a customer service line you can call? I’ve called them before in the past. Worth a shot.

It's happened to me, too - lots of "Own The Wild Bunch" in my history for the last few weeks.

Incidentally, I looked at an episode from Season 3. The HDX version is in widescreen while the SD version is in (the proper) full screen format.

There's a thread in the Vudu forum about it: https://forum.vudu.com/forum/vudu/ge...-in-my-account For some reason, they locked the thread. Someone else started another thread complaining about it being locked and that thread was deleted.

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

Just noticed that they're selling the recent movie Kin in UHD for $4.99. Not sure if the movie is any good, but that's a smoking price for almost any new movie in UHD.

Also I just bought Free Solo under the assumption that it was a MA title because, you know, VUDU says it is. But it isn't at all.

I always check the movie on MA first before buying on Vudu.

What's even weirder is that it DOES show up in my Fandango Now library as a MA title, but it doesn't show up in my Movies Anywhere or Amazon libraries.

It's a fantastic climbing documentary. I loved it.

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

I got the 20% off coupon from watching one of the leaving titles. I ended up watching Just one of the Guys, which I've never seen.

Used it to get Bohemian Rhapsody for $8 for the 4K UHD version. I would prefer the 4K disc, but it's too expensive right now and it's hard to beat only $8.
