    Have you had a chance to watch it yet?

    ...Last night. It was a delight. For sure a title best seen in HDX. The CGI was magnificent.

    Also, I enjoyed the "Girl-Power" theme. That too was refreshing.

    Considering we have a trend of 66% and increasing of those who get a college diploma put in their hands being women, It is inevitable that we will start to see more films like this where women and girls are portrayed in commanding roles. The Disney/Pixar movie "Brave" is another in recent times in this new portrayal of women & girls in commanding roles.

    Soon, it will be the norm instead of the exception.

    I for one, welcome the change

    take care...

    I think I will cough up the $2.00 to get the extended cut into my Vudu library to complement the theatrical cut I got free with the purchase.

    I will be looking out for the EXT-Cut to become available via D2D along with you.

    Yet another title to snipe for...

    You know, you are not the first person who has mentioned this to me as of late.

    A friend of mine has the extended cut and he too said it was way better.

    I don't think I am going to wait for my pie-in-the-sky and instead I am going to get my sucker punch fix in theatrical.

    A katanna wielding chick in a mini skirt al la "Blood: The Last Vampire". Yes, thank you.

    I will take one of those please.

    I wouldn't think of getting any of these in packaged media form just to then store them in the boxes in the garage. That wouldn't make sense. Even if I can save a dollar or two, it is easier to just EST purchase them.

    ...only by a few dollars. I don't mind paying for the convenience of in-home electronic purchases, not having to needlessly add to my physical collection being stored, not having to waist time doing the hunt-n-shop exercise and add shipping, and then add D2D fees, just to save $1.73 or whatever.

    Other people feel differently about it, but I just find it easy to EST from now on.

    Isn't that the crazy thing? It is cheaper to buy a movie and D2D the item rather than buy it EST.

    I am down to nine left. One more is currently SD only and I am going to hold onto it till it ups to HDX too.

    I am ahead of my origional schedule. I thought it was going to take me through q4'13 and maybe into q1'14, but I am going to close out the outstanding D2D titles in about another month, I would suspect.

    Then I will be in the same boat as you where I am waiting to snipe titles as they become available and also wait for the mother load from the master mouse.

    That is just D2D.

    As far as buying movies, I am an EST guy now. My physical collection is in boxes in my garage. It doesn't make sense to me to buy packaged media any more. Everything new has been from EST.

    For instance, I am getting ready to EST purchase the below three using a $50 father's day gift from my mother;
    1. Catwoman (2004) IMDB LINK
    2. Sucker Punch (2011) IMDB LINK

    Up to 3900 titles now, and I'm pretty much out of things to redeem on D2D...until they add more movies. (I wish Disney would get on board. And MGM.)

They gave us a free TV for our trouble, and it was selling on their site for $1,100 at the time.
    Yowza! That's awesome

    Now I am curious, just how large is your Amazon Video TV library?

    Wow.

    I wonder, is that the largest library of anyone yet reported here? There should be a thread celebrating your achievement

    I do the same. A little blue circular sticker goes on the spines of the titles I've done D2D for UltraViolet/VUDU, and a little green one goes on the Digital Copies I have in the iTunes cloud. This makes it easy as I look through my physical collection, to see which ones I might want to convert next.

    I note that when I use the Flixster app (which has a beta of "D2D at Home" for DVDs) and I insert a disk for a title that's not eligible yet, there's a checkbox where I can be emailed when it *is* eligible, so I can know to try again. That's cool. When I try the same with the beta of VUDU's D2D@H app, it doesn't do that. It says "not eligible" and leaves it at that. (Or, it doesn't recognize the disk, and it asks me to tell them what it is -- so it can learn, I suppose.)

    In any case, I'm enjoying the hobby too. I only have about 50 titles so far but I'm looking forward to adding more.
