A few of the movie studios have now started doing Movie DVDs with a second disc that contains a "Digital Copy." In other words, a copy for your computer/iPod/iPhone. I think this is a NEAT idea. I think it's even a better idea for Blu-ray discs. I can already HandBrake a movie DVD that I buy and make a digital copy to play on my other devices. However, I can't do that (yet) with a Blu-ray High Def movie. I've only seen a handful (like 3) Blu-ray titles that contain a Digital Copy:
The Bank Job [Blu-ray + Digital Copy] [Blu-ray]
The Eye [Blu-ray + Digital Copy] [Blu-ray]
Tyler Perry's Meet The Browns [Blu-ray + Digital Copy] [Blu-ray]

Have you guys seen anymore or a list of them? The 3 titles above aren't ones that I would buy (although I may buy one just to review how the whole process works).

I just got the Family Guy Blue Harvest (Star Wars spoof) on standard def DVD that included a 2nd disc with a digital copy. Interesting thing with the digital copy, you punch in the access code and it launches the iTunes store & downloads the movie from the iTunes store. The disc was not even required, it may be different for the windows version though.

It does *not* download the movie (although it makes it look that way in the displays) - it takes the movie from the disc, which *is* required.

I ejected the disc while it was downloading from iTunes.

When it went to iTunes 1st I did not start the download. Instead I punched in the code to redeem a gift card from the ITMS thinking it might give me store credit. It then automatically went to the title in the store.

My disc was in use the whole time (I had to switch to an external because my internal drive died and would not read the disc - I made multiple attempts). The external has an access light and it was going during the "download".

So maybe they've changed it up - I did this back when this disk first came out in January - since then, but mine certainly came off of the DVD.

I've got "The Eye" Blu-ray on order to do a test/review and I'll let you know how it works when It comes.
