Movies & Digital Copies

Posted on by

This certainly nothing new, but it was “new” to me. Today when I purchased Star Wars: The Clone Wars it had a nice little sticker on it that said it included a digital copy. I don’t know if any of the other movies in my library included this, and if they did and I didn’t get the digital copy, well I’m an idiot.

For those of you that don’t know the digital copies can be downloaded to your PC or Mac, and even transferred to your iPod. And it’s free with the DVD purchase. Not bad, you get two for the price of one.

How painful was the process? That’s the thing, it wasn’t. I simply put the “digital copy / bonus disk” into my Mac, opened up iTunes, and input the redemption code that came with the DVD. iTunes downloaded the movie, and now I have a digital copy… just like that. There is a similar process for PC+iTunes or PC+WMP.

Yes, I’m still one that buys physical media. Usually I’ll go for the Limited Edition or Special Edition copies first. After this, I’ll be looking to buy more movies with digital copies.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

During the whole marketing blitz that accompanied the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated movie, I really had no desire to see it. That was until I started watching the animated series that followed. I’m really enjoying the series… funky animation and all.

I went to Wal*Mart today to pick up a few things, and was back in the electronics section looking for a speciffic gift for my father-in-law, when I found myself facing the newly released DVD of The Clone Wars. So, I decided to pick up a copy.

The movie was fun to watch, and certainly less painful to watch than Star Wars: Episode I – Episode III. The animation, though different, makes the lightsaber battles even cooler.

Samuel L. Jackson and Christopher Lee return in the animated film reprising the roles of Mace Windu and Count Dooku. And believe it or not, Anthony Daniels also returns as C-3PO (he’s been C-3PO in all the movies).

Aside from that, it’s just Star Wars. Some will like it, some won’t. I did.
