What a complete joke they are, for the uninformed they sometimes come attached with a retail DVD/Blu-Ray film, you buy the film which in this case is Ice Age 4 on blu-ray, with it comes an Ultraviolet copy which essentially is like a digital copy, except if it was a digital copy as a digital copy goes I would not be posting here. The purpose of UV & digital is so that you can download it onto your digital devices, tablets/ iPods/iPads phones etc.
So, UV copy available to me, inside the cover of the blu-ray disc it gives me a redemption code and where to find it on-line, tells me go to the URL and redeem your code (same as a digital copy ) but when I get there it gives me a link that trots me off to 'Flixster' who happens by chance to want me to open an account with them (it's free) so as to be able to redeem/watch the film. Grudgingly I open the account, few details and a throwaway email account and I'm done.
But I'm not, cos it now tells me via the link that I also need an account with UV?, at this point I'm thinking this is a lot of frigging effort for my children to be able to watch a film on their iPods but on I went and opened the account (it's free also), went back to the redemption code but it now tells me I need to link the flixster/Ultraviolet accounts together, this is piddling me off now, more huffing but I take the steps to link them and that's it?
No it's not, I now have to download the flixster app onto my iMac so as to be able to pull the download from Ultraviolet, so I install the app ( I've already lost the will to live) and eventually I manage to download the film.
Still not done though, cos when I try to play the film on my iMac it tells me there is an error and not only that for every device I want the item to play on I have to download the flixster app on to it.
End result: Never ever ever ever ever going to buy a film with just a UV copy available, and I've removed every trace of it from my mac and ditched the flixster/uv accounts also. Had ICE AGE4 had a digital copy to accompany the UV copy I would simply have gone to the URL, entered the digital copy redemption code and it would have downloaded onto my iTunes with a simple wi-fi sync and the film showing across my children's iPods, simple is that.
I feel better now, thanks for reading.
