    We probably only buy about 2 new Disney movies a year, but we have about 100 DVDs sitting on the shelf. So D2D is really what I think most people want from Disney.

    LuzRinggold,

    if it is any consolation, the Stich Kingdom article has a comments sections you can post your views on as well. I have done so with mine. It may be futile, but all I can do is try.

I just wish they had a way for me to add all of my old iTunes digital copies to Vudu.

    I think a case can be made for that now. Perhaps they will be "nice" and allow these redemption of previously issued iTunes DC codes via Vudu instead.

    Thinking about the UV step, I do think it is now safe to say that Disney has punted the UV decision. We will not see further change in their policy for a year or more, I suspect.

    Once they chose to respond to the market with this method (offer DC via Amazon & Vudu in addition to iTunes), the chance they will be adopting UV anytime soon I think is gone.

    The hope of being able to rush to the WalMart photo counter with a box full of packaged media with the Disney DVD logo on them to put them into a UV locker have been dashed with this announcement. My guess is 2014 at the earliest would be when we can again start to hope for change.

    In one way, it is good to see the monolithic facade of Disney Studios crack under pressure. We all knew they were seeing the DC market slip away from them and they responded. In another way, the UV decision being "put on the shelf" is hurtful, since now we all must wait indefinitely for a next step.

    I like this new initiative a lot. Thanks Disney. I still hope they join UV so we can get catalog releases that we already own on DVD, but this is a good step for new movies.

    Thank you for the news flash.

    The mouse makes a move.

    Not a full out embrace of UV, but at least a step away from the solo gig they had with iTunes.

    Maybe once the log jam breaks up a bit, they will take the next step to UV.

    Again, thx for digging up the news.

    We'll have to wait and see if the Vudu copy is UV but this is a step in the right direction.

    Looks like Vudu is the only provider that does not allow download to iPad. Both iTunes and Amazon support it.

    Vudu is the only provider with Blu-ray player support?

    Oz The Great and Powerful will be Disney's first Digital Copy Plus movie. It will offer customers a choice of Vudu, iTunes or Amazon Instant Video.

    With the home video release of Oz the Great and Powerful on June 11, 2013, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment will be launching a new service, Digital Copy Plus. Taking a cue from the Disney Movies Anywhere initiative, in which consumers will be able to purchase a film and stream it across multiple devices, the Digital Copy Plus replaces the digital copy disc previously offered and transfers it into the cloud, so consumers can choose how and where the digital copy is stored/accessed from.

    The way it works is relatively simple: consumers will take the Digital Copy Plus code included in their purchase and enter it into the DigitalCopyPlus.com website. They will then choose a cloud provider: iTunes, Amazon Instant Video or Vudu, each with their own offerings on multi-device playback via download and streaming, including access via Roku devices. This means at launch (and depending on chosen provider), Disney films will be available on televisions, iOS devices, Roku, Android tablets, Kindle Fire, gaming consoles, PCs, Macs and even - ironically enough - BD players that offer access to these providers.

    The service is not just limited to Disney releases, however. It will apply to all of Disney?s studios including Pixar, Marvel, Touchstone and even DreamWorks, which Disney currently has a distribution agreement with.

    I wasn't planning on getting this, because I have been boycotting Disney releases until they start supporting UV, but since the physical copy will include a vudu copy, that is the next best thing I suppose. Maybe if a lot of people activate the vudu copy, that will show demand for non-itunes copies, and that will sway them towards UV. So for that reason, I will be getting this one, just like I did with Wreck it Ralph, because it was early.

    I sent disney guest services a request asking if it will have an Ultraviolet digital copy. The web site still only says iTunes and Amazon.

    I suspect their answer will be 'no'.

    If there were to be UltraViolet redemption codes, the media would of had to have been packaged with them and by now they have to be in distribution points ready for getting trucked into stores.

    My guess is if the decision had been made to include UV, it would of been announced by now.

    yes, I guess I agree. Still, I do not mind paying an occasional two dollars more for the convenience of making my entertainment purchases via pressing my roku remote twice. It is a rare occasion where it does actually cost more and for not having to hunt&compare with in a crowded store and wait for checkout, I am glad to cough up $2.00 on occasion.

    Plus, I do not have my collection of "never-to-be-touched-again" discs being added to needlessly.

    It is a personal preference decision. For me, I am just done with buying packaged media. I know everyone does not have the same preference in this area. I just simply enjoy building my cloud library of entertainment media and have lost interest in doing anything with physical versions besides getting them converted via D2D.

    I still buy the media when it's cheaper to get UV rights that way. Seems silly that I can get a disc and with all the costs of DVD distribution to the store, and get the UV rights cheaper, but that's how it is sometimes.

    ...I agree. I have not bought packaged media in many moons.

    I just do not see any reason to buy a combo pack, get the UV code to add the title to my locker, and then put the packaged media in a box in my garage.

    All my outright purchases has been EST in the past 2 years. Add to this my D2D efforts and I just do not find any reason to buy a packaged media anymore.

    I have Oz in my Wish-List now. Even if it is released via UV in a combo-pack, I would not buy it. It would be an EST purchase for me via Vudu. The UV feature would just also add this EST purchase into my UV locker. I am out of the business of buying discs just to store in the garage.
