    Disc + Digital, yes, broke yet again.

    Another week and yes another problem with Disc + Digital.

    And surprise it's yet another new problem.

    This time try to buy Passengers and Vudu is reporting that it can't validate my address. Funny since it's the same one used for the last few dozen D+D purchases. No problem change to a different address. Nope still doesn't work. Try a different card in case it's an authorization issue with credit card. No still not working.

    Sigh. Hopefully one day all the kinks get worked out.

    Looks like Best Buy is offering an early digital copy code for Passengers and Sing if you pre-order and it looks like it even works if you pre-order the UHD Blu-ray unlike Vudu.

      What ?!?!?

      If BB is offering early watch on UHD even if it's only HD/HDX I'm all over that.

      Saves we having to buy twice. Once to get the early watch with Blu-Ray and again for the UHD version.

      "If" the early watch gives gives you UHD instead of HD/HDX even better.

      Thanks for the heads up !

        No problem. On dealnews it said you get a UHD digital copy early for Sing even if you buy the Blu-ray. Not sure about passengers.

          Anyone actually bought it at Best Buy and see what they get. The verbiage at BB.com is vague if it's an HD or UHD download code.

            I pre-ordered "Passengers" at BB and it stated that you would get the digital version of "Passengers" as shown below:

            Passengers Early EST - Universal [Digital Download Add-On]

            Pre-order the 4K UHD format of Passengers and receive a code to watch the movie early.
            BestBuy.com account required. Instructions to redeem are usually e-mailed within 1 hr.


            But then I got the digital code for "Sing" which I didn't want so I cancelled the order.

            45 UHD
            770 HDX
            2 SD

              I preordered both Sing and Passengers in 4k format from Bestbuy, and they both give you UHD UV rights. The promo details for both even says that it give UHD promo code for preordering the $k bd combo, but I can confirm that both do give the UHD copy. Also, for Sing, the code has to be redeemed on FandangoNow, and there are reports that it should port to Vudu now when before it wouldn't. The Passengers must be redeemed at Sony's Site, don't know if the code can be redeemed on Vudu, but if you want the UHD UV rights, it must be redeemed at Sony's Site. It will transfer to Vudu in HDX.

              I am not sure if preordering the regular 2D BD combo also gets you the UHD copy or just HD copy, since the promo details didn't mention what the 2D would give. Since I only got the 4K BD, I can't say what the 2D gives.

              Don't cancel the order, you will get charge for that digital code. Also, double check the code again to see if the is 10 digits long (and should say 'sing' in the code, or 16 digits long. If its 16 digits long, then it is a code to redeem Passengers. Just go to Sony's site (https://www.sonypicturesstore.com/index.htm#/redeem) to redeem the code. There is a glitch where BBY sends the email with the Sing info, but it still gives the Passengers promo code.

                Thanks, the code worked at the Sony site and I got the UHD version. I don't have a Sony TV to watch it but read that in the next quarter it should be available on more devices so I'll wait. They're going to charge me $19.99 which is fine with me for the digital copy.

                  It looks like VUDU is back to their bad habit of not shipping Disc+Digital titles in a timely manner. Jackie came out a week ago on Blu-ray and I have yet to receive the disc in the mail. Also, Fences comes out tomorrow and there's no word yet on that movie being mailed out.

                    I never get notifications of skipping anymore.

                    That said I did get my Jackie middle of last week.
