It's not as beneficial to those who have HD Displays that connect to Network Attatched Storage devices and use popular media players like Windows Media Center, Plex, XBMC, and others. When they have the Common File Format in use, all this will change, and then consumers will begin to see more benefits, and so will Disney.

    I respectfully disagree. I run plex. I also run iTunes. Both are able to stream to TVs in my home.

    Vudu is without question a vast improvement to the home entertainment experience.

    When you depart from local storage and move to a streaming iVoD service like Vudu, Amazon Instant Video, or iTunes Cloud, the benefits are many.

    The main one is I can take the media server off line and it has no effect. I do think the number of people who have a bleeding edge media server setup like you describe, but do not have internet would be very few. Perhaps rich folk who live in very rural areas. These are not the people who Disney will be making a move for. It is the nameless legions who all have access to ubiquitous broadband.

    For them, there is a big step up in the home entertainment experience when going to a EST/iVoD model. Of the three (Vudu, iTunes Cloud, Amazon Instant) Only Vudu will let consumers stream 1080p of their existing DVD collections for an administrative fee of $5 per title.

    Disney can not do business with Wal-Mart and leave Target and BestBuy out of the discussions. They will be pressured to join DECE to maintain business relationships with their distribution retail purchasing agents.

    I doubt Disney is going to support UV until they see that there's a business reason for doing so.

    As long as folks jump all over DC+, why go UV?

    As UV grows, I think more customers will feel the pain. Imagine you're setup with a new TV app for the Target service, but redeemed a movie on Vudu. DC+ isn't that great in that situation.

    Right now it appears they are simply slapping a new UPC on them by way of a sticker on the shrinkwrap. If anything has changed regarding the digital copies, it isn't apparent from the packaging alone.

    why release them if nothing has changed? i cant imagine them including expired itunes copies for a re release? we defiantly know its not new itunes code since they dropped apple.

    I'm not confused. I just made the mistake of using the quote button on the last post. I generally don't use the quote button, I usually use reply button. But I was replying in response to wildside, who said they didn't think Disney would ever join DECE. It just so happens that ruinit said the same thing. Sorry for the confusion.

    fair enough. Now on with our regularly scheduled programming...

    This is not a dissertation in work. It is just a forum. Chillalax.

    You disagree with what? I said I think Disney will join UV so not sure what you are in disagreement over lol

    I agree with EP. To say they will not join DECE is like saying they would not go from VHS to DVD back in the nineties.

    As a vehicle for EST/DigitalCopy, UV is all but the defacto standard now.
