| | Posted: | | | | How to treat that "problem" in the database? In Norway there's just a link to a downloadpage to get the Digital Copy, and some have actual disc's for it, but in both cases the offer is limited. Is it ok to remove the Digital Copy checkbox after it has expired, or should it just stay as it is?  | | | "What's God?"

| | Posted: | | | | I have thought about that at the time... and mentioned it in the rules committee forum... and basically it as said... which I sill go back and forth on since it is a different type of situation...
All info in DVD Profiler is for the original release. This shouldn't be any different.
So it would remain in profiler. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | The limited-time aspect of most digital copies and most net-based content (aka BD Live  ) was why I'd hoped we didn't track Digital Copy as a feature at all. Personally, I don't even bother to keep the digital copy disk enclosed with my BR purchase. I bought it for the 1080P HD content, not the option to store a standard def version of the material on my own hardware so I could play it on a vacation trip instead of enjoying the nature I'm hopefully out visiting. Yikes, I sound like I'm in a nasty mood today (which I'm not). |

| | Posted: | | | | Question: Do all digital copies for a given release expire at the same time? Or does it depend on activation date or something like that?
If they do all expire at the same time, then an additional field would be quite handy: Expiration Date
Basically, once you check off the Digital Copy checkbox, the Expiration Date field would be activated, allowing you to enter (probably via a menu similar to purchase date) what date the digital copy expires. And if there's digital copies that do not expiry, an N/A option would need to be available too. | | | Tags, tags, bo bags, banana fana fo fags, mi my mo mags, TAGS!

| | Posted: | | | | I like that idea... it would be helpful. Even if they don't all expire at the same time. I would say if they do... make it a contributable field. If they don't and it depends on the activation date.. make it a local only field.  | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | hmmmm.... maybe just a check box next to the digital copy checkbox that just says expired. Then when it is noticed to be expired it can be checked. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Personally I think the info should remain, as we always go by the original release (as pointed out by others).
However, if possible with a program update, it would be nice to have either:
- an additional check box to indicate the copy has expired
or
- a date field where we can enter the expiration (future or past) date | | | Blu-ray collection

| | Posted: | | | | Death to digital copies.
Does anyone really believe those stickers that say "3 versions of the movie, a $90 value"? DC's are worthless and filled with malware and the trend should be dead by now. Does anyone actually use these things?
I could care less about an experation date. I only keep the DC disc cuz my collector mentallity won't let me throw them away. I hate my mentallity sometimes... |

| | Posted: | | | | There should also be a checkbox for: Link to download Digital Copy, since most of the distributors don't add the physical disc, just a link with a code to download it. Also, is it against the rules to don't check the DC box when there's just a link and not a physical disc enclosed?? | | | "What's God?"

| | Posted: | | | | AFAIK so far checking the Digital Copy tickbox in Features was understood to include both physical and downloadable copies. |
