It was noted in a posting on the upcoming release of "Somewhere In Time" on Blu-ray that it'll have Ultra-Violet, and I was about to post the following until I decided to start a new thread on the subject:
Regarding Ultra-Violet, am I the only one who detests it? I had to open 2 different accounts, one with one studio whose Blu-ray releases had it and another with a second studio. And then when I bought the Blu-ray of "The Remains of the Day," it turned out that it was the British release and although the U-V slip listed one studio, they didn't carry it in the U.S. and I was unable to contact the correct studio to get access to it. And despite several attempts, it has been impossible to get the Ultra-Violet downloads for the 5 "Twilight" movies -- when I go to their redeem movie.com it keeps taking me to one of the U-V accounts I've already opened for another studio and they don't recognize the redeem code, so it has been impossible to redeem those 5 movies. If it's this hard just to redeem them and then hard to find which studio carries each of the ones I've redeemed, why bother? It is SO exasperating! Give me the iTunes Store ANY day!!!

Solium: I bought the Blu-rays, so I have the hard discs on all of them, but these are extra copies that one downloads to the computer and any other media one has, like tablets.
It worked just fine for me the first 2 times. But then I got one for a different studio and had to open another U-V account. And then there was the Blu-ray that had the British U-V that I couldn't download here. And the codes that keep taking me to an earlier U-V account that doesn't recognize the codes. So if you had asked me a few months ago I too would have said that it wasn't bad, but since then it has all gone in the opposite direction.

solium: Re: "If Netflix streaming wasn't so dirt cheap I would have dropped it right after my free month was up."
So dirt cheap? My monthly bill to Netflix is $16.70, with about half of it for shipped DVDs (worry about availability of Blu-rays, so haven't upgraded) and about half for streaming. The problem is that I'll go MONTHS without streaming anything, and they are forever dropping things I like to stream, and so if I pay about $100 a year for a minuscule amount of streaming, that's not exactly "dirt cheap." Indeed, I've been thinking seriously about dropping the streaming part of my service. I have just about all the premium cable channels and often find that I've streamed things (or received DVDs) that were also available on some cable channels. I wish they could download some of these cable schedules to our BRAINS so it would be easier to keep track of everything!
