I wonder how successful the Digital Copy feature
is for the studios?
Personally, I have never used it nor do I foresee
circumstances where I would want to.
Since I only buy Blu-ray titles these days, perhaps
there will be the desire to watch one of them on my
laptop during air travel. However, to date, I just
haven't had the urge to even investigate what is
involved in transferring and initiating a digital copy
on a personal device. That should show how much
interest I have in it. I'm also leery of the format because
if you don't take advantage of it quickly the ability to
view it expires. I would be more excited about the
format if I had the ability to view it forever (even
if I was limited to a certain # of viewings) rather than
just short-term.
Tack on the fact that most digital copy Blu-rays come
with a DVD so I can always pop that into a laptop (though
doing so does drain more battery power).
....not that I am condemning the format. In fact, it's
not my intent to turn this into an anti-digital copy thread.
I just have no personal use for it but I imagine perhaps
others do and I can learn from that. The studios seem
to be making a big deal about the inclusion of it in their
releases and I am wondering how many HTF members
actually use it and under what circumstances?
