Ultraviolet/ Digital Copy Rant Can't Post

Although I consider myself a bit of an Apple Fan boy, I resisted the urge to buy the early EE copy from iTunes because it never includes the full appendices. With AUJ I bought both because there is just something about having a hard copy my favorite movies. That being said, I am frustrated with the licensing and pissing match between corporations and formats because this ultraviolet digital copy sucks. I have a brand new laptop with a blazing internet connection. I stream movies all the time w/o issue. The ultraviolet copy is so choppy its unwatchable. So I downloaded the film, same result. Furthermore, it only comes in standard definition. End rant.

Faramir: “I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.”

If you can use Vudu it's awesome, but on computer it sucks [In reply to] Can't Post

It's pretty awesome if you have a game console or a smart tv that supports Vudu. Right now, Vudu has the highest quality 1080p streams of any company. But you're right, the desktop/laptop solution sucks right now.

There's a choice... [In reply to] Can't Post

...on Amazon.com's Prime Video that will let you rent/own an online copy in both Standard and High definition.
